On this day 10 years ago, Eden Hazard changed the lives of Chelsea fans worldwide. He publicly announced that he would be a Chelsea player for the season 2012/13.
It feels like it was just yesterday when Manchester United fans felt certain that the Belgian would join Sir Alex Ferguson in what would be his last season for the club. Hazard piqued the interest of several top clubs but he chose the Champions of Europe at the time and the rest was history.
I don't enjoy being emotionally attached to players. Before his arrival, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard were the only players who I could say were Chelsea through and through. I'm sure each Chelsea fan has a couple of players to whom they grew an attachment to. Hazard made the list the second he announced his arrival in unprecedented fashion. A tweet was all we had to confirm that he was coming to Stamford Bridge. What a journey it has been since then!
