About your team

Which team do you support? Super Chelsea FC! How long have you supported them for? Since my first game in 1969 v West Brom (old man!) What's your earliest memory of your team? The Royal Blue shirts & bright white socks, and the élan of Ossie. Are you a season-ticket holder? If so, where do you sit? Sure am. Matthew Harding Lower, still singing proudly. Favourite player(s): Too many! Hutch & Ossie RIP (both!), Cooke, Nevin, Dixon, ZOLA!!! Favourite manager: The Special One, but watch this space. If you could sign anyone for your team, who would it be? Me (I wish), or, whisper it... Torres! Worst signing ever for your team: Kiki de Lucas - serious! Chronic! Best moment as a football fan: Easy to say JT lifting the Prem Trophy first time, but being in Stockholm in '98 when Zola scored to win the ECWC, mental!!! Any football superstitions? It involves harnesses and pulleys, that's all I can say really... What are you...? ...most likely to say on FanZone: "Be afraid Utd, be very afraid." ...least likely to say on FanZone: "I really hope Liverpool do well this season" Describe your style of FanZone commentary in three words: Conciliatory, neutral, quiet. Ha ha... yeah, right! Ideal WAG: Cheryl Cole - if she kept her mouth shut. Geordie accent...urgh! Favourite song/chant: Carefree or Osgood, born is the king of Stamford Bridge. Most prized possession: My family. What do you do when you're not in the FanZone commentary box? Watch football, take the kids swimming, try and finish the book I'm reading, watch Dexter - what an anti-hero!
