article: For some of the division's most celebrated stars, it was also time to say goodbye. For some it was a fairytale farewell; for others, a nightmare ending. Some will be remembered as club legends; others bow out unwanted. Here, BBC Sport looks at five farewells that defined the final day - and five more stars who could be on the move over the summer. Who he's leaving: Manchester City. Where he's going: New York City FC (Major League Soccer). His final match: Lampard couldn't have scripted his 609th and last Premier League appearance any better. The midfielder signed off in style with a typical goal, rifling home James Milner's cut-back from ten yards out to help Manchester City beat Southampton 2-0.

I wish him well, he has been a credit to his country and his club as well" - Stoke manager Mark Hughes. Who he's leaving: Chelsea. Where he's going: As yet unknown. His final match: Drogba was taken off injured in the first half and was carried from the pitch by his team-mates. Chelsea went on to record a 3-1 win over Sunderland. What he said: "I want to play for at least one more season and in order to play more football I feel I need to go to another club. All the fans know my love for Chelsea and I hope to be back here in the future in another role." What they said: "For these players to know him, to train with him, to play with him, to live with him, to share with him I think is fantastic.
