Ranking Chelsea’s Premier League Goalkeepers – Worst to Best

By Danny Gee /

3. Ed de Goey

Chelsea Career: 1997-2003, 179 appearances. Ed was one of Chelsea's most prominent goalkeepers of the Premier League era before Abramovich's arrival changed the genetics of the club completely. Transferring from Feyenoord in 1997, the Dutch international became Chelsea's primary keeper and held the spot until Carlo Cudicini eventually displaced him. In the 1999/00 season he won the FA Cup - his third major trophy with the club - and broke the records for most appearances and clean sheets along the way. Despite Frank Lampard and Petr Cech surpassing his records, de Goey turned in brilliant performances for Chelsea before his departure to Stoke City.
