This Sunday Vital Chelsea enters un-chartered territory.
For the first time in our existence as a fans web site, we will be taking part in the 'Fans Football Tournament` at Cobham.
To say it’ll be an experience is probably an understatement!
If you’ve considered plying for us but still haven’t registered an interest then please get in touch and we’ll provide details of how to get there.
For the event, the participating teams are allocated an ex-Chelsea player as a team manager; we’re reliably informed that we’ve been allocated a Chelsea legend in the shape of Clive Walker
Clive, who now regularly appears on Chelsea TV, was a flying winger who appeared for Chelsea during the period 1976/77 through to 1983/84 playing 191 games and scoring 65 goals.
To those familiar with Chelsea’s history, it was Clive that scored the goal, in May 1983 up at Burnden Park that prevented the club from slipping intro the third tier of English football for the first time in their history.
Others will remember the goal Clive scored against Liverpool in a memorable 4-2 FA Cup victory as his claim to immortal fame.
After leaving Chelsea, Clive went on to play for Sunderland, Queens Park Rangers, Fulham and Brighton and Hove Albion.
Whilst at Sunderland his claim to fame will always be scoring the goals that saw Sunderland overcome Chelsea in a dramatic League Cup semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge.
Here at Vital Chelsea we look forward to meeting Clive this Sunday but we have to wonder if he seriously knows what he’s let himself in for agreeing to manage a team that might well be considered the rank under-dogs for the tournament.
