Thanks everyone for the well wishes! Is this not exactly what the internet was created for? Thank you! Yes! I know next to nothing about twitter but was thinking about posting on Reddit. Not sure how welcome that would be from an outside to that community. Fantastic memory and great story! No matter the result making it to a match will always be a special memory. It was actually Torres and Meireles's debut. This was back in the AVB days...I had almost erased that part from my memory. I was right above the goal where Glen Johnson put the game away, perfect view in fact. Here's the full recap: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/15710566

Ha! I used to get that a lot, especially when he was ours and killing it Thanks Droogba, will do. Haha, the only darts player I know of was this guy Taylor. Ace.

Hello everyone, I know this is a long shot but here goes... Back in 2011 I was traveling through London and lo and behold Chelsea were hosting Liverpool during my stay! I thought of course it would be sold out, but I believed somehow there would be a chance I could get in. I'm American, so it was news to me that in the UK ticket touts ("scalpers" as we call them) were highly illegal. My heart sank even as I questioned risking 100+ pounds on a ticket out side the stadium. I took the train to Stamford Bridge that day and had a fantastic time just watching all the fans stream in, but also watching police on horseback pull aside and ticket unsuspecting foreigners with illegitimate ticket. I was sure then that it would come to nothing and the once in a lifetime opportunity would have to wait for the next time I was in London... But just then, these two gentleman came over and asked me if I wanted a ticket! When they said it would cost face value only, I was sure I was going to get scammed but I couldn't let the opportunity go to waste. Little did I know they were just two super nice guys hoping to fill what would have been an empty seat. Needless to say, I had the most amazing time! Being surrounded by so many other fans, hearing all of the songs, and getting to see a great Chelsea team in action live was the greatest experience I can imagine. Even though we lost, I was on cloud 9 for weeks after. Now I am heading back to London with my girlfriend (a newly minted but die hard Chelsea fan as well) and I would love to meet up with these guys and buy them a drink. I took down their names and phone numbers at the time, but they have been lost over the years. The point: If anyone can identify these guys or provide some contact info, I would love to express my gratitude to them and meet up again in London this October! Any info is greatly appreciated! That's me in the middle. Sorry for the framing, this was taken by a very drunk lady.
