robdog 2,084 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I was shocked to find that Ron 'Chopper' Harris was not listed in the ex-Blues forum. Ok, I never seen him play, but I heard/read a lot about him. Chopper has 795 appearances for the Blues. Long time Captain, his is considered to be the epitome of being Chelsea True Blue. Anyway I wanted to bring up this story, because I didn't realize that Ken Bates barred Chopper from Chelsea & one of Roman Abramovich's first moves was to bring Chopper back. This article is a good read about what Roman thinks of Chopper & how Chopper thinks Mr. Abramovich is a God-send for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,482 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Good shout Robdog. Saw him in dozens of games -not the most mobile but reliable solid and scary for the opposition. Favourite of the Shed -and I remember he saved his most 'robust' performances for dirty leedsStayed for 18 years -not many players do that anywhere.
