This former Stamford Bridge favourite used to run the show from midfield each week.

Making an instant impact in London, he spent five-and-a-half years with Chelsea.

And he also won an impressive 52 caps for Brazil, featuring at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.

He played in all seven games at their home tournament eight years ago – which they were knocked out of in the semi-finals after an astonishing 7-1 defeat to Germany.

Guessed who it is yet?

Yes, it is Blues icon and former Brazilian midfield ace Ramires.

He spent his time at Chelsea with a smooth, shaved head and no facial hair.

But Ramires revealed a new look ahead of the club’s FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool earlier this year.

Ramires joined Chelsea from Benfica in 2010 for £18million, having just won a Portuguese league and cup double.

And he went on to score 34 goals in 251 games as a dynamic box-to-box midfielder.

He won a Premier League title, FA Cup, Champions League and Europa League during his Stamford Bridge spell.

But he was shown the door in January 2016 when he joined the Chinese Super League revolution with Jiangsu Suning for £25m.

Ramires played 71 times for the Far East side before returning to Brazil with Palmeiras.

Making 43 appearances, he won the 2020 Treble before departing soon after.

Ramires was then without a club and eventually retired.
