“The time has now come to move on. I am certainly going to miss my team-mates. I will miss all of the staff at the club who’ve always treated me like a son and I will miss the fans.“I leave with my head held high, safe in the knowledge that I won things here and I always did my best in a Chelsea shirt!”
