Good photo's mate, thanks for uploading them.

How did the lad meet JT then?

Hey Mod, nice to hear from ya mate.

Anytime we go to the Bridge we always try get the Chelsea Hotel . Not always available at a decent rate but usually book it in advance .

After the Birmingham game we were allowed stand in reception , just where the players come out . We've been known to hang around like groupies if recent history is anything to go by so this time was no different . Marc stood around while i went upstairs for a beer , there was Clive Walker , Kerry Dixon , Bonetti , Chopper and my Camera . Pure luck really . Meeting Bonetti was like me being 8 years old again , one of the reasons i started following Chelsea was Bonetti . Osgood , Hudson , Hutchinson , Holins, etc so when i saw the man standing in reception 32 years later i thought , f**k me , theres the Cat . I approchaed him , he smiled , i put my hand out , he shook it , agreed to a photo and chatted for about 4 miniutes . The man was an absolute gem , made me feel at ease and came across as a lovely genuine person who is willing to give time to anybody . Brilliant man.

Clive Walker was ordering a drink beside me , usual senario , photo and brief chat , really top bloke . Dixon , well that was just luck . I think he was chatting to Chopper and Marc recognised him . again no big deal , we asked for a quick photo , Dixon made Marc feel a million pounds , while i stood with the camera.

J.T.was a dream for both of us . We thought most of the playes had gone , the security around the reception area moved , we were there , just the 2 of us ready to leave when Terry walks out . Heading in the opposite direction Marc yells J.T. ..

He turned around and came back , saw the 2 of us and agreed to pose for a photo with Marc . chatted to Marc , asked where he was from and made a 13 year old feel important . We have the photo enlarged , Marc still describes the moment , so do I .

Im not the type of individual who gets star struck , but meeting Bonetti , Dixon , Waker is an experience ive thought about since i was a kid following Chelsea .

Terry was a bonus .

Ive emailed Chelsea TV asking them to thank Terry for coming back to give time to Marc with a photo .

Great Day .

Blimey mate, I should have stuck around with you after the pub ;-) ... glad you had a great day, look forward to next time.

Cheers

Andy

And if it wasn't for you Andy we wouldn't have even got to the game . Meant to mail you , so thanks again mate .
