Liam Rosenior 🗣️ “When teams came to Stamford Bridge before, they knew it would be a long day. I want that feeling back. High tempo. Front foot. Wave after wave in the first 15 minutes. Stamford Bridge has to feel like hell for opponents again”
Ben Chilwell met scientists working towards a cure for childhood brain tumours and donated £25,000 to their work at Queen Mary, London, on Tuesday. England and Chelsea left-back, who finished last season on loan at Crystal Palace, is patron of Shay’s Smiles. Charity established in memory of Shay Patel, a Chelsea fan who died from glioblastoma brain tumour aged 13. Shay's favourite Chelsea player was Chilwell and he felt an extra connection as both had played for grass-roots club Woburn Lions (now Woburn & Wavendon FC) near Milton Keynes.
Chilwell accompanied Shay’s family to the Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence at Queen Mary this week. “Until I met Niki and Deenu (Shay's parents), I wasn’t aware how tough the outlook was for brain tumour patients," Chilwell says. "It was shocking to discover that one in three children who die of cancer is killed by a brain tumour.” September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. @braintumourrsch
