The greatest Birthday Present

If you were to ask me what my greastest Birthday Present was, I would have to think, but then I would realise there is only one ture answer, Chelsea. The gift of supporting this club that I love and will never stop loving was given to me almost 12 years ago. On my 7th Birthday on the 20th of May, 2000, I received from my Uncle, my first Chelsea shirt, which had my name on the back. At first I did not care much for it, as at the time in New Zealand, Football was all about Beckham and United. However, as I awoke the next morning, May 21st, my mother had some news that changed my life, Chelsea had just won the FA cup, I very quickly came to the conclusion that for Chelsea to win a cup like that, they must be a good Club, I was right. Ever since that day I have been a Chelsea fan through and through, I laugh at people who call me plastic for supporting Chelsea because I was a diehard fan before Roman came in, and you could imagine how excited I was when I found out about him, and then when we won our first EPL, I have very much been through it all in the last 12 years and have loved every second of it.

One day short of the 12th year anniversary of winning that fateful FA cup we will play in one of the biggest games of our Clubs history, the Champions League Final in Munich. This is due to be played on the 19th of May 2012. As I live in Australia and the timezones are different, At somewhere between 4am and 8am on the 20th of May 2012, my time Chelsea will attempt to do the unthinkable, Win the Final in what has been a crazy year, no one said we could do it and if we do, we will rewrite the history books. This will be the only present that could beat that gift I got 12 years ago, this will be the greatest Birthday Present of all.

If you are wondering whose goal in the 73rd Minute that secured that FA cup and a place in my Heart for Chelsea, it was none other than Roberto Di Matteo
