Just a few words of appreciation and thanks.
My dad Len Kell, was signed by Chelsea as a 17 year old, in the 50,s and spent about 5 years at the club, working through the teams and eventually playing a few games in the first team before he was sold to Norwich.
He's 83 now and suffers from alzheimers but always recalls his time at Chelsea with great fondness. His great mates were Andy Bowman and Bob Smith both sadly deceased. Roman Abramovich heard about dad and immediately sent a club invite to any game ( dad choose Man City) plus a card from all the squad.
This means a lot to us. I've heard many great stories about Chelsea over the years, stuff which would never make the papers!
I'm told Len Casey and John Dempsey will also be with us, so that's going to be great.
Anyway just wanted to let you know that Chelsea look after their own and we are very greatfull and humble.

The old Fulham Broadway, give me this version over the new shiny shopping centre we have now.
