How many years you have followed Chelsea?

I grew up in a Blue household, so all my life really. I guess the point where I became a proper supporter was when I went to my first game with my Dad in 1993.

Whats the best part about being a Chelsea Fan?

Being part of the Blue family – the true supporters stick together through thick and thin.

Whats your match day routine?

My Home Game routine: Get on the train about 9am; Breakfast on train of flapjack and 2/3 cans of Stella / Fosters (whatever is on special offer in One-Stop); Get to Fulham Broadway and go see ‘Urry Up Dave and Marco; Get some Chelsea toast in the greasy spoon down North End Road (if hungry); Go for beer wherever my posse are; ALWAYS end up in the So just before the game - sing, jump about and drink more beer; Watch Chelsea win their match in the Bridge; Head back to the So and drink more beer; Eat chicken burger and chips in TGI Fridays; Do One to Clapham Junction; Sod-off home on the train.

Do you have any Superstitions?

No, I lived at No. 13 for 20 years of my life and never came to any harm!

Probably the Champs League last season against Liverpool 4-4 at home! I was blown away!
