No1 in a series – This week John Terry explains to his grandchild why he wore a Chelsea shirt after the Europa Cup final in Amsterdam.
Kid: Cor, Grandad is that you in the picture with the cup?
JT: Yep, that’s me holding the cup up, and that’s me dancing on the pitch with the rest of team
Kid: Wow, that’s brilliant. What was is like playing on the night?
JT: Errm, shall we go and play with the trainset I’ve just bought you, it’s really cool.
Kid: No granddad I wanna hear about the game, what number were you?
JT: 26
Kid: Well that’s funny Grandad, I looked in the programme and there’s no number 26 on the Chelsea teamsheet
JT: Perhaps that’s a misprint, gimme that programme here and let me look
Kid:Did you play all the game Grandad?
JT: We’ll, aherm, not quite, you see son, it was squad rotation system in those days.
Kid: So you didn’t play in that game then?
JT: I did play in most of them son, let’s go and have a look out the window and see if your mum is coming.
Kid: No granddad, I wanna hear more about the game
JT: Well, we were all over ‘em as usual.
Kid: But you said you didn’t play in that game Grandad
JT: No, I was injured but I was allowed to put my kit on and join in after
Kid: Did the other injured players do that then?
JT: Err, not sure son.
Kid: My teachers used to support Chelsea then, but now they are in the 3rd division he goes and watches Welling United. He reckons you’re a nobhead.

anyhow who really gives a flying
Until those two go it will be very hard for a manager to assert his authority.
Fair point. But they are still winning trophies. 3 in Two years and getting in the top 4 aint bad.
What's wrong with offering Lamps a new deal?
I can just imagine the conversation between Samsung and Chelsea this morning if he wasn't wearing his sponsored shirt. I doubt that they'd be all that pleased if he was wearing a non-branded item of clothing.
.and why is gran nan nicking things from shops
