Barnsley captain Brian Howard says he learned plenty from his former Chelsea teammates in his final months at Stamford Bridge.
"I think at the time I went to Stamford Bridge they were struggling a bit financially. Claudio Ranieri was manager and had the idea of signing up promising young players but Roman Abramovich soon changed all that.
"I learnt an awful lot from training alongside people like Gianfranco Zola, John Terry and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
"At first it came as a bit of a shock to see just how hard those players worked and all the extra effort they put in. People like Zola stayed behind after training and put in a lot of extra hours which is something I do now. Most afternoons I'll either work on something like shooting or be in the gym. The big thing I learnt at Chelsea was that hard work really pays off."
