On our travels....


Chelsea - Milan

That’s yours truly with the Coor’s jersey, the 16 yr old with the Black shirt & the missus & baby in between
knackered by 100 degree heat or so it felt!


Last July we spent a few days in NY, well New Jersey really, well New Brunswick actually, in the garden state...well you get my drift.Anyway, the "Chels" were in town and the NY blues were putting on a show and we had a great time.

On the Friday, we met up with Mike Neat, who had our tickets for us and did a magnificent job of orchestrating the Blue supporters from all around and corralled us into our very own "shed end" at the northern end of the stadium.

Mike also ensured we got passes for the following day's training session and we had a blast with the lads.

Frankie Lampard looked surprised when I proffered him my toddler's shoes to sign but loved the idea and likewise Peter Cech & Billy Gallas did the honours...it will be a treasured keepsake for the little man as he grows up.

The game was alright I guess, a chance to see some of the new players play...a chance to see another favourite team of mine, Milan play my beloved Chelsea, two great goals...a 1-1 draw in the end.

More to come
