Picked up a joe cole book from poundland , have always know joe cole supported chelsea as a boy  but didn't know that peter crouch did , would  like to know a few more players who have played for  chelsea or even those who didn't who supported them as a boy cheers

[Spiller86]

I bet Roger Johnson wishes we'd get him rather than Cahill. He and Frank were having a good laugh after Frank scored today. Bet he gave him a sneaky well done.

[Davey Baby]

Jason Cundy, Jody Morris (I think). Paul Merson stood on The Shed but never played for us. Collinson at Wet Spam is Chelsea. Mark Hughes says he was a Chelsea supporter.

[Snedger]

Pretty sure I heard that Mark Hughes was a Chelsea fan as a lad. (as Davey has already said)

I've always felt that when players say they support a particular team it doesn't mean a great deal as most young lads with that ability tend to play so much football they rarely go to games. Between playing for Cubs, Junior teams, school teams and the professional sides that pick them up there just isn't the time for them to create that 'in the blood' bond that we less talented footballers get.

Find it strange that  jason cundy supported us as a boy  than went to spurs , a real no no  in my book  ,  When  joe was being  touted for a move to spurs , i always said he would never end up  there , even thou harry was there.

I thought that terry's whole family were West Ham supporters or did I get that one wrong?

[Zeta Orionis]

I was pretty sure Terry was a Man Utd fan as well. I seem to recall reading that in an interview ages ago. I think it said he was a youth player at West Ham for a while, then at 14 had the choice between Chelsea and Man Utd and chose us because we offered him some new boots.

I got one for you .. and this one is truly staggering ..

Tony Gale.

Also, seeing as we're talking co-commentators ..

Jim Beglin.

Edit: I just remembered, Robbie Earle.

John Terry and his family were all Man U supporters, read that in his book so it must be true.

[Davey Baby]

JT was a Man Utd supporter.

I read it on the back of a fag packet.

In India.

[Zeta Orionis]

No way Tony Gale can possibly be. Or at least, not any more. The guy is constantly bad mouthing us in his co-commentaries.

[Zeta Orionis]

Also, internet tells me Crouch was a QPR fan.

Crouch was Chelsea, definitely. He was a ballboy here and his family are/were all season ticket holders. As for Tony Gale, it's true, believe it or not. I've heard him say it, just as I've heard Jim Beglin confess during one of his commentaries.

[SHELLY]

Crouch's Dad once appeared on Chelsea TV he is a dyed in the wool Chelsea supporter and was a season ticket holder...so I'm guessing he brought his son up to be Chelsea as well...

boke!

I could've swore Scott Dan is a supporter, but now I can't find any documentation.  Maybe it was just Roger Johnson I am thinking of, although I thought they both did.

Alan Dzagoev of CSKA is a big fan as well.
