My love for Chelsea began just over 22 years ago as a child in Ireland. Ever since then it's been an obsession for me. The glory years under Mourinho and the years upon years of success and title challenges instilled Chelsea as one of the top clubs in World Football.

My first game at Stamford Bridge was magical. My Father and I travelled over and experienced the Stadium Tour and watched Chelsea trounce Wigan Athletic 4-0. That memory will always stay with me and despite each and every game I travel to. Winning the Champions League for the first time brought a joy to my life that I never would have expected. The elation of finally reaching the summit of Europe is one the greatest memories in my life. 

Chelsea has become part of my life and it hasn't been easy of late. But we will be back at the top, there's no doubting that. On this day, the 120th Year of the Club's existence, I just want to reiterate how much it has meant to me and that it will always be a part of my life. Happy Birthday Chelsea FC and here's to many more years of success!
