This is a bit off-topic, but I just saw on telly that Bobby Tambling (Chelsea's all-time top scorer ahead of Lampard) was brought out onto the field at half time at Stamford Bridge today.
Tambling was the first manager of Cork City FC in 1984.
Was up at my local teams(crosshaven) pitch one day and he was there, i cracked a 30 yarder in off the crossbar, bobby was there training the u17's and saw it and said he wanted me on his team.. shame i was 18
My brother was born on the day Cork Celtic won the league in 1974 and is named after Bobby Tambling. My father drunkenly insisted that my mother choose a name from the 11 players that day.
