Nickname: Tom B
Preferred position: Anywhere but in goal!
Actual position: A very quiet one, running all over the place, usually right midfield
First season: 2000-01
First tour: Rio, 2012
Why the Kenchels? Beggars can’t be choosers
Best Chels moment: Lots to choose from but beating BA is up there as a biggie
Worst Chels moment: Hearing Kings’ Head Dave’s achilles snap as he sprinted after the ball
Pre match ritual: Listening to extracts from the El Tel Joke Book
After match ritual: Not sure if it’s a ritual but Greengazza’s recent post-match champagne in the dressing room felt like something we should repeat
Most likely to say: Very little really
Least likely to say: ‘Oi! Steve! Fecking wake up!’
Ambitions: To pay attention to what EP says to me on the pitch; to be like Tom Taw when I’m his age – old enough for a free bus pass but still playing like a 20-year-old. Unlikely I can emulate him in other ways, wink-wink, nudge-nudge
