two years ago I adopted a chelsea true blue pensioner. Lived in Lambeth his whole life, through the blitz too. I surprised him with a trip to Ronny Scotts, staff made a proper fuss, band even got the audience to sing happy birthday for him, he's as old as Jazz itself and still talks about that evening in Soho. His second love is Chelsea Football Club, I'd like to surprise him again with a trip to Stamford Bridge, I know the season is almost over, he'll be 92 this summer. If anyone can source him a ticket, I'd sort out the rest. He's been wheelchair bound for nearly 10 years, with no family to call on. He ribs me for being a Gooner, but our shared love of Jazz and football keeps his spirits up, he is still as bright as a button.
