    Going back all those years, I lived in Chelsea for a while. If you went into the bottom bar of The Chelsea Drug Store ( not there anymore!) pretty much any night if the week, you'd find the above three propping the bar up!..

    Ha, yeah I can imagine! The players were a lot closer to the average person back then. Untouchables now unfortunately.

    If Hoddle was one of your idols, your bet with @Hoddle Is A God is unfair. Unless he names Adams as his favourite international.
