Two hundred fans were lucky enough to meet the Blues squad in Macau this afternoon, at a specially arranged signing ceremony.

The group was made up of winners of a competition held by Windsor Arch, sponsors of Saturday's match with the Chengdu Blades, and fans who had queued since the early hours to meet their heroes.

One of those was Munkherdene (pictured), who spent hours outside in the heat in his wheelchair before being the first inside.

'I travelled from Mongolia to Beijing and then on to Guangzhou for the game on Wednesday, and then on Saturday I will be at the Macau game,' he said.

'This is the first time I have seen the Chelsea players up close and it is a big chance for me so I am very happy. It was very cool to meet them.'

The entire squad on the tour were present at the session, signing autographs and smiling for photos.

Winsome and Bowie, of the Hong Kong Supporters Club, were delighted to come face-to-face with the stars, but it was not the first time they had met some of the players.

'We have met some players before, in December 2004 at the Chelsea Megastore, when John Terry and Frank Lampard did a signing, but now we have met the whole squad for the first time,' Winsome smiled.

'They were all very friendly and signed everything for us,' she continued. 'It is very special for us to see them in Macau, so close to our home in Hong Kong.'

The session, held at the team hotel in Macau, was preceded by an exchange of gifts between Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon and the hotel owner, Dr Stanley Ho.
