Most appearances with William Gallas as a teammate

We take a look at the list of players who have played alongside William Gallas on the most occasions during his career.

Football

• Frank Lampard (219)

A controversial 12 years in the Premier League saw William Gallas play for Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, but it was during his spell at Stamford Bridge where he would share the pitch with Frank Lampard.

The two would play 219 times together between 2001 and 2006, with both players featuring in Chelsea's Premier League winning campaigns in 2004/05 and 2005/06.

• John Terry (184)

Both Gallas and John Terry were part of a Chelsea defence that would arguably go down as the greatest we have seen in the Premier League, conceding just 15 goals in the 2004/05 term.

Gallas' minutes were split between central defence and left-back for a large part of his Chelsea career, in which him and Terry would make 184 appearances together.

• Eidur Gudjohnsen (182)

Eidur Gudjohnsen enjoyed a successful six years at Chelsea, involved in 119 goals in 263 games.

Despite an outstanding record, he became more of a squad player following the appointment of Jose Mourinho, eventually leaving the club in 2006, the same year as Gallas, to join Barcelona.

• Claude Makelele (156)

Gallas and Claude Makelele were no strangers in the dressing room, playing together for Chelsea, Marseille and the French National team.

Both players started in France's 2006 World Cup final to defeat to Italy, though neither player stepped up to take a penalty in the shootout.

• Carlo Cudicini (128)

While Carlo Cudicini was part of Chelsea's back-to-back Premier League winning campaigns in 2005 and 2006, he played a limited role, featuring just seven times across the two league campaigns.

Gallas and Cudicini would meet again, however, reuniting at Tottenham in 2010, where they spent a further two years as teammates.

• Bacary Sagna (112)

Gallas and Bacary Sagna joined Arsenal just a year apart, with Gallas arriving in 2006 and Sagna joining from Auxerre in 2007.

The pair would also share the field whilst representing France, playing 112 times together for both club and country.

• Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (111)

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink joined Chelsea for a club record fee of £15 million in 2000, which matched the then-transfer record for an English club.

177 appearances and 87 Chelsea goals later, Hasselbaink left the club to join Middlesbrough in 2004, having played with Gallas 111 times.

• Cesc Fabregas (110)

Like Gallas, Cesc Fabregas also played for London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea. Sensing little opportunities at Barcelona, the midfielder joined the Gunners youth setup in September 2003, making his first team debut in the League Cup just over a month later.

Gallas and Fabregas made 110 appearances together for Arsenal, combining for six goals in this period.

• Gael Clichy (110)

Initially covering for Ashley Cole, Gael Clichy made the left-back position his own at Arsenal following the Englishman's departure to Chelsea, and Clichy became an important component in the Gunners backline before joining Manchester City in 2011.

While Gallas had also played at left-back during his career, the two rarely fought for a spot, with Gallas utilised primarily as a central defender during his spell under Arsene Wenger.

• Emmanuel Adebayor (110)

Emmanuel Adebayor would spend the best part of 10 years in the Premier League between 2006 and 2016, playing for Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham and Crystal Palace.

It was at Arsenal and Tottenham where Gallas and Adebayor would share the pitch, playing 110 times together for the north London rivals.
