EDEN HAZARD left Chelsea club shop workers stunned as he made an ‘incognito’ appearance in the Blues’ megastore.
Well, about as incognito as he can be in a stadium that was often referred to as ‘The Garden of Eden’ in his time at Stamford Bridge.

He went to the store to buy the new season’s kits for his children, dressed in a light blue Nike tech fleece tracksuit with the hood up.
He got exactly what he wanted, with four Chelsea home shirts, one for each child, as bemused workers were shocked at who they were seeing strolling around.

He was stopped for photos by staff as he walked around with his hands full of merchandise, and then went to get his new shirts printed.
“HAZARD 10” was, of course, what he wanted on the back.

When he approached the desk, a thrilled staff member quipped “You can take your hood down, I know who you are!”
Hazard replied: “We tried! Can I please get Hazard 10 on these?”
The Belgian legend added: “Actually, maybe I should have asked my kids, maybe they would want Cole Palmer number 10 instead.”
“Is there a legends discount or no? 50%? 75%?”

That comment was what prompted a cheeky joke in John Terry‘s direction from Hazard.
The staff member replied: “When JT (John Terry) comes in, he doesn’t get that much”
Hazard, with a smirk on his face, jested: “Yeah but JT, he’s too old man, I’m younger!”
Walking out of the Megastore with his family now kitted out, Hazard signed off the video saying: “It’s like when you get a new trophy, so happy! My kids are going to be so happy, come on Chelsea!”

Fans and former players alike absolutely loved his visit back home on social media.
Former Belgian wonderkid Charly Musonda commented “The goat.” While a fan added: “Smiled the whole time!”
John Terry wouldn’t let Hazard get away with his cheeky dig either, commenting a trio of laughing emoji’s followed by: “We all have to pay”
Hazard remains a Chelsea fan in his retirement, and has been enjoying his more settled life with his family, inventing his own wine and playing in charity matches at Stamford Bridge and abroad.
When he does play in those he still gets the crowd going, and earlier this year exclusively told JattvibeSport of his love for watching Cole Palmer and Estevao, both of whom would be pleased to have even half of the career that Hazard had in blue.
