Deane's Bio

Decided on a change, Me? a thirty year old construction consultant, have been a loyal Chelsea fan since as long as I can remember but also follow my home town team of Luton Town

Had a fairy strange football career, was with West Ham till i was 16 when I was released (prob for being to short lol) but then went on to have a fairy successful semi pro career whilst at uni, played in the Welsh league for Barry Town, Rhyl & Bangor City as well as stints at Stevenage Borough, Bedford Town, Dunstable before my career was cruelly ended with a serious knee injury when i was 26.

Still enjoy my football and I am a Level 3 qualified coach and still coach a local kiddies team, which i really enjoy. Dont get much time to go to the bridge but any opportunity then I am there.

Joined on here in order to fulfill my desire to spout complete nonsence and utter garbage and hope that some of it makes sence

Hey Deane—Jeff here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Chelsea page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at jeff@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Jeff

Hey,

The second edition of my 'I Was There' series has just been published. This edition covers the 2007 Carling Cup Final between Chelsea and Arsenal. It would be great if you could check it out.

Hey,

I've started a new series of articles where I recount my experience at memorable Chelsea matches in the past. It would be good if you could have a read and let me know what you think.

Hey Deane,

I've written an article looking at the speculation surrounding Drogba and whether he can hit the heights of the 06/07 season, it would be nice if you could have a read:

Loved your article on Metrosexual sports figures, it really tickled my fancy talking about David and Victoria's fannies..
