BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I believe I remember someone saying Joe was at a trial that day for a team that wore red. Probably borrowing a friend's shirt, as it looks a little too large for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think)OK, i'm just reading his interview and it says that he spent a year between Chelsea and Man U deciding which one to sign for, but deep down he knew all along that he would choose Chelsea.

Wasnt he a fan of Man Utd? Why would he choose Chelsea? From what I read, (long time back) he was either 1. Turned off by the competition at Man Utd and saw a chance at Chelsea.2. Rejected by Fergie.

Turned off by the competition at Man Utd and saw a chance at Chelsea.2. Rejected by Fergie.Reading on he says the main reason he chose Chelsea was because of someone called Bob Orsborn who is a trainer. He goes on to say that the training was brilliant, so enjoyable. He just fell in love with the club. The interview is very interesting and asks him about what made him become a footballer, his first professional game, memorable game, etc... Captain Marvel his book may give more of an insight into about choosing between us and Man U. I haven't been able to get Captain Marvel as it's currently being reprinted i'm told, but I might get a copy of Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rejected by Fergie.From I have read and been told, he has always been a Chelsea fan since he was a kid and while developing at West Ham and at their academy was reportedly offered roughly £10 from Man Utd. at 16. Obviously it never happened as he would stay at West Ham until he was about 22 for Chelsea when West Ham got regulated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
