Chelsea icon Bobby Tambling is the Blues’ second-highest goalscorer of all time. He netted 202 goals in 370 games for the club between 1959 and 1970. Lampard broke Tambling’s record with a brace against Aston Villa in 2013.

Kerry Dixon is third on the list thanks to his tally of 193 strikes in 420 matches. He helped Chelsea achieve promotion to the First Division during his debut campaign at the club and enjoyed a prolific stint in west London from 1983 to 1992.
