AUTHOR PROFILE: Luke Bradshaw

Hi, I have been a Chelsea fan since I was 8. The first game I saw was us lose 4-0 to Man Utd in the '94 Cup Final, and I have loved them ever since. My most memorable game is Chelsea beating Liverpool 4-2 in the FA Cup in '97 after being 2-0 down at half time. Paolo Maldini is the best a footballer can get and what others should aspire to be.
