This month's Chelsea magazine is packed full of enough news and features to keep you going for the rest of the season, containing interviews with our defensive pairing of John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho, and a look back at some of the recent celebrity-filled events at Stamford Bridge.

First there was Sport Relief, where we were only too happy to help contestants Phil Tufnell and Nick Hancock depart with their hands full of Chelsea shirts, while also welcoming TV Dragon Peter Jones and the Chris Moyles radio show.

If that isn't enough we step back in time with Tony Dorigo, and head back to 1979 with DJ Trevor Nelson, as well as looking forward with young Franco Di Santo.

First up though, the focus is with the leader, main man John Terry who casts his mind back to what it was like being an apprentice at Chelsea in the mid-90s, making ends meet by cleaning the boots of Dennis Wise, Eddie Newton and David Lee.

'When I was a YTS boy I was on £46 a week. You had basically nothing and that money just about covered your travel and expenses. It wasn't really enough to live on and nine times out of ten you were borrowing from your mum and dad anyway.

'But then you'd get to Christmas and get £100-£150 as a bonus from the players whose boots you cleaned and it would bail you right out of trouble!

'And then, as you got to know the players better they might give you tracksuits from adidas or Umbro or whoever they were sponsored by. Things like that made a big difference,' he recalls.

Eventually, as we all know, the young Terry graduated to first team status, and it is now he everyone at the club looks up to. He admits he followed the way of the two captains he played under, Wise and Marcel Desailly.

'[Wisey] knew exactly how to get the lads going and get the best out of everyone. He recognised that some players might need an arm around them at half-time, whereas others he'd go absolutely mad at. I'd be thinking, "Why is he doing that?" But then you start to understand. Some players don't like to be told they're having a poor game. They know that already. But others do - they need geeing up.

'Marcel was a bit quieter as a captain but he was very strong in what he said. When he spoke, everyone listened. He was one of those. But there's a lot to being a captain and I really learned from both of them.'

JT also speaks of his admiration for the man he partners in defence, and the respect is mutual, as Carvalho explains.

'In my first year here it was hard for me because I was at a new club, in a new country, in a new league and playing a much more physical kind of game than I was used to in Portugal.

'JT recognised this straight away and was such a big help, on and off the pitch. He really made me feel comfortable. He is one of the best I've played with and a great leader too.'

Carvalho, who arrived in 2004, has since gone on to form a remarkable understanding with Terry, and believes this is because their strengths complement one another well.

'He is stronger than me and likes to get in the air whereas I play more with the ball than him. But that is what makes us such a good partnership together.

'As a centre-back, whoever you are playing with, you have to know your partner very well and have an understanding,' he explains. 'It's like being two halves of the same whole.

'Instinctively I have to know what he is going to do and he has to know what I'm going to do. The understanding between the two players is very important.'

The Bridge was a hub of activity throughout the Sport Relief period, as we welcomed entrepreneur Peter Jones into our lair.

A Chelsea fan since the age of seven, he can just about remember the Peter Osgood era, but rates Frank Lampard among his current favourites.

'[He] is a big favourite of mine. I have a massive amount of respect for him. I get very proud when I see a Chelsea player in an England shirt,' he said, while fellow celebrity runner Chris Moyles was less impressed with his visit.

'I think as a Leeds fan I wanted to get out of here as soon as I could,' he joked. 'I have too many bad memories of being here - always watching Leeds get thrashed!'

One DJ happy to be here though was Blues fan Trevor Nelson, still in shock at being overlooked in favour of Spoony as DJ for the players' Christmas party.

When he finally got over that disappointment though, he pondered what it was to be a Blue.

'The way I look at it, it's like being in love with a really cool rock band,' he says, reflecting on what it means to support Chelsea.

'Whenever you love a rock band and get involved emotionally with them they take over and that's what Chelsea does. I look around and the other clubs just aren't quite good enough. They don't have the spark of Chelsea,' he enthuses.

It wasn't always this way though and he confesses the first ground he visited wasn't the Bridge, but instead White Hart Lane.

'My very first football game was at Spurs and they won 7-1 but I didn't want to know. I didn't want to support them so my dad took me to watch Arsenal and it was the same there,' he smiles.

It seems that everyone is in agreement that the place to be is Chelsea, and that is certainly an opinion echoed by 18-year-old Argentine Franco Di Santo, this month's Young Pretender.

'All the players here have made me feel very welcome and I have enjoyed it a lot,' he begins, before picking out Claudio Pizarro as a particularly friendly face.

'I'm very thankful for Claudio's support, not only for myself but for my mum and dad as well. He has invited us all into his house almost like family members,' Di Santo explains.

At 18, his time is surely to come, but there is also plenty of space within the pages of Chelsea devoted to looking back.

Tony Dorigo, a Blue for four years between 1987 and 1991 recalls his time at Stamford Bridge, and the free-kick at Wembley that clinched Zenith Data Systems silverware in 1990.

'It's everyone's dream to play at Wembley. My family was there, as part of a 74,000 crowd and the Aussie press went nuts over the whole game,' he remembers.

'Even now I get fans coming up to tell me how they remember the game and especially my goal.'

With 84 pages, you may think that May's issue of Chelsea is going to need extra space due to all the content, but rest assured this is not the case, and there is still plenty of news, exclusive pictures and regular features such as Top 10, Chelsea Girl and the Tactics Board for you to contend with.

If that still isn't enough, there is also a look back at the CLIC Sargent event which saw Chelsea players going head-to-head at table football with young fans at an Armani store, the first Peter Osgood Trust annual dinner, and an interview with superstar freerunner Sebastien Foucan.

At just £3.25, May's Chelsea will keep you entertained all month as we reach the business end of the season. It is available from the Chelsea Megastore and other retail outlets.
