Graeme Pierre Le Saux (born 17 October 1968 in Jersey) is a former England international left back who had two spells at Chelsea, between 1989 and 1993, and 1997 and 2003.
Le Saux joined Chelsea as a youngster having been spotted playing for Jersey club St Pauls by John Hollins. He made his Chelsea debut in the final game of the 1988-89 season. He made 120 appearances before a fall out with Ian Porterfield saw him sold to Blackburn Rovers, with whom he won the Premier League title in 1994-95.
He re-joined Chelsea in 1997 for £5m, then a record fee for an English defender, and over the next three years helped the club win the FA Cup, the League Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. He remained with Chelsea until 2003, when he moved to Southampton as part of the £7m deal which brought Wayne Bridge to Stamford Bridge.
