Stuart hit nine league goals and one in the league cup that season as they finished 11th in the first Premier League season.

Loftus-Cheek has scored six times in the Premier League and four times in the Europa League while also providing six assists.

The most notable is John Terry who’s best return in a single season was eight goals in 2004/05 and 2014/15.
