Posted June 8, 200717 yr With the signing of Steve Sidwell, we can almost name an entire Chelsea XI of redheads. I'm struggling for three: 1. Roger Freestone 2. Gareth Hall 3. 4. Steve Sidwell 5. Erland Johnsen 6. 7.David Hopkin 8. Duncan Shearer 9. David Speedie 10. Ray Lewington 11.
June 8, 200717 yr David Hopkin...ladies man!!! As someone once said, 'surely this is the unaccepatble face of the beautiful game'...
June 8, 200717 yr I recall Hopkin being utterley sh*te for us. He did go on to become a half decent player for Palace, Leeds and(i think) Bradford though.
June 8, 200717 yr David Hopkin...ladies man!!! As someone once said, 'surely this is the unaccepatble face of the beautiful game'... This thread is nearly putting me off football
June 8, 200717 yr Forsell?? Fleck?? Andy Townsend and Tony Cascarino....... .....Alright they wern't ginger but they wern't f**king Irish either!!!
June 8, 200717 yr As someone once said, 'surely this is the unaccepatble face of the beautiful game'... I see you, and raise you:

June 8, 200717 yr Author I was definitely not making the ginger = sh!t connection (although the evidence of the right back is pretty overwhelming IMO). I don't think Fleck can be classed as ginger. As for Steve Livingstone I have no idea. I'll try and find evidence. Yes, he qualifies, but can't break into the forward line of Speedie, Shearer and Hopkin
June 8, 200717 yr Livingstone was a joke. I think he played one game for us. We swapped him for Le Saux and then sold him the next season for about 100k and not so long later we re-signed Le Saux for 5 million. Genius.
June 8, 200717 yr Interesting article HERE on socially accepted prejudices - Gingerism, Scousism, Teetotalism, Single Parentism and Singletonism. What shocked me about this is that a ginger haired family in Newcastle were actually forced to move home no less than three times because the local Geordie halfwits objected to their hair colour. Unbelievable but true.
June 12, 200717 yr How about John McNaught (RIP) and Joey Jones? Pretty sure both of them would qualify.
