Last season was another of unfaltering consistency for arguably the best left-back in the world, the only negative being the two months he spent sidelined with a broken ankle between February and April.
It was a season of records as he earned a sixth FA Cup winners' medal, no man has as many, and won his second Double, along with Nicolas Anelka the first man to do so with two different clubs.
On a personal level, he scored a record four times in the same season, including the Chelsea Goal of the Season against Sunderland in January, a deft flick after controlling John Terry's long pass expertly and cutting inside his man.
