Affectionetly known as "Super Dan" started his career at Chelsea as  a wing back, but Luca has adapted Dan into a right sided midfield player in a position  we think is more suited to him.

Dans has never been one of the strongest tacklers in the game, but his offfensive play more than makes up for it, on his day the guy is awesome , going around players with ease.

Dan's commitment to Chelsea has never been in question,  even if at one stage we all thought Dan was off to play for Ajax, thank god the deal never materialised.

Loves the club to bits and has even named his Daughter Chelsea.
