I can’t remember exactly what game it was, but it was a Chelsea game at Stamford Bridge. I was about five or six and I remember my uncle taking me to a game, he was the one who got me into being a Chelsea fan because he was like the biggest Chelsea fan in the world. I had a Chelsea scarf on, a Chelsea hat. I forget who we were playing because I was so young, but it’s one of the best experiences of my life, when I was that age. It was really fun, a nice day out.

When I used to go to all the Stamford Bridge games it was with him, because he was the only Chelsea fan I had. I would nearly always go with him, sometimes with my dad, but mostly with my uncle and it was amazing for him to take me down and experience that at that age. It was really fun and really impactful.

I remember going there and, being that young, I didn’t know what it felt like to go to the stadium. When I turned up and was outside on the road and saw five or six thousand people walking up the road, it was massive. I was getting lost because I was small and below everyone else, so I couldn’t really see over anyone when I was walking through.

It's just exciting when you see some of the players getting off the bus, walking into the tunnel and stuff like that. It’s amazing when you go inside the stadium. I always remember we used to go straight to get food - I wanted a burger straight away - and then go and sit down to eat, then pick up one of the flags they had in the stands and start waving it around. Then watching the players come out onto the pitch. I think I was sitting in the West lower. It was just unreal to be having that experience.

When I first saw it, it was remarkable, the number of people that were there, the noise around the stadium, how much impact the players had on people when they came out. It was just crazy and from then I was just: 'wow, I want to be playing on this pitch one day'. That’s where it started really.

When I was a little boy, my uncle was the first one, dressing me in Chelsea gear when I was about two years old. My mum told him to stop but he kept insisting I was going to be a Chelsea fan, so I grew up as a Chelsea fan because of him and it all grew from there.

The rest of my family weren’t really into football at the time. My mum wasn’t a football fan and neither was my dad really, but my uncle supported Chelsea his whole life, so as soon as I was born he wanted to make me a Chelsea fan. He was saying I was going to be a Chelsea fan and a football player, my mum was telling him to let me just grow up, then eventually my mum and dad started getting behind me and supporting Chelsea. That’s where it all comes from, my uncle.
