Former Blues player: “Chelsea fans were singing ‘Chelsea reject’ to me and it “hurt me the most”

One former Chelsea player has admitted that hearing Chelsea fans call him a reject after he left the club hurt him the most.

The news comes after Chelsea played out a boring 0-0 draw against Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon in what was another underwhelming performance.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea ARE looking to sign a new goalkeeper this summer and have world class name on the table!! ​

Enzo Maresca frustrated Chelsea fans once again with a heavily rotated starting lineup in such an important game in the race for Champions League qualification, and then he annoyed them even more with some of the excuses he came out with after the game, even blaming the weather!

The Blues boss was also frustrated though, pointing out the fact that his attackers are currently not doing enough and has called for more goals from them all.

Maresca and his players must keep going now and onto the next game tonight in the Conference League as they look to try and win some silverware this season.

But there is one former Chelsea player who has been speaking this week about something that still hurts him now after he left the club.

Steve Sidwell was a very odd signing by Chelsea and he also came to the club wearing the No.9 shirt, which was also very odd. His stay at Chelsea was far from successful and didn’t last very long at all.

Chelsea fans chanted ‘Chelsea reject’ towards him in 2008 when he was playing for new club Aston Villa against his former club.

Sidwell said on The Dressing Room Podcast: “The one that hurt me the most, this is ridiculous, the season after I left Chelsea and I went to [Aston] Villa, we played [Chelsea] at Villa Park. All the Chelsea fans were singing ‘Chelsea reject’ to me.”
