Morpheus 8 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 few years back on the stamford brdige tour the guide said he took that number because in training gianfranco zola said he was always going one better than him so he gave him the number 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStamfordBlues 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 And me. England 2 Australia? No chance! Also - Zola told Terry to take it so the Chelsea captains went up in order - 25 to 26. That's what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alee. 182 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Nice one there mate, got any more?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I was told on the tour that they used to sit in numerical order in the changing rooms. JT wanted to sit next to Zola so took 26. Whether it's true or not I don't know but that's what I was told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseapaul 0 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I heard it was the only number available so he took it. Chappy, Marcel, Franck & Le Saux had all the low numbers.. Just pure coincidence it was 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStamfordBlues 0 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 This is the best - Ben Haim wears 26 at City. But isn't he at Sunderland now?! We ruined his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFC-Lloydy 38 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yea is true, JT always wanted to be one better than Franco, Ummm Cudicini took 23 same reason as Beckham, love for Michael Jordan, Ummm what else... Oh yea Lenny Pedgley or how ever you spell it was given 40 by the lads after Chels beat Watford 4-0 with him in goal for Watford, in the changing rooms, they sit in nationalities or same speaking language and goalies are together, I'll see what else I can remember....
