This blog is becoming too nice to other clubs – and now even Chelsea are getting praise. Just what the hell is going on?
Regular readers may remember that Arsenal were very kind in responding to my request for a letter of good wishes to a neighbour going into hospital for a heart op.
This week I got in touch with Chelsea as a six-year-old boy we know – a fan of our friends down the road – is about to have a tumour removed from inside his ear.
Not only did they send him a pack of information which included magazines, pens, paper, etc, but a personally written letter of best wishes and signed photographs of John Terry, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and Michael Ballack, each of which had written messages to the young lad concerned.
Needless to say I was very, very impressed with their response. At a time when we are all too quick to criticise clubs and players for being greedy mercenaries - me included, I hasten to add – this truly restores some faith in the good of sport.

As a Chelsea fan to another Chelsea fan i also like to wish the little lad a speedy recovery. I’m happy to hear that the boys at CFC have taken the matter to their hearts.
I’ve got to say that i’m not surprised by this at all, just by flicking through the first few pages of this months CFC magazine you’ll see JT playing football against a child and if you can track down last months you’ll see JT and the boys visiting sick kids in hospital.
Chelsea do a lot of this type of work, but i would like to thank R33G for making this article and highlighting some of the good work the club does and it goes without saying that i would also like to send my prayers and best wishes to the child involved in this one.
