Encyclopedic overview
Robert Huth (/ˈhuːθ/, German: [ˈʁoːbɛʁt ˈhuːt]; born 18 August 1984) is a German former professional footballer who played as a centre-back. He is a three-time Premier League winner (twice with Chelsea and once with Leicester City) and has made the most Premier League appearances (322) by a German player.
Huth was signed for Chelsea from the youth system of German club 1. FC Union Berlin in 2001 by Claudio Ranieri. He struggled to establish himself in the Chelsea first team and with the likes of John Terry, William Gallas and Ricardo Carvalho ahead of him in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, he joined Middlesbrough in August 2006 for a fee of £6 million. He spent three years at the Riverside and after the club was relegated in 2009, Huth signed for Stoke City for a then-club record fee of £5 million.
