Spy in the Camp | SECRETS of the "Battle of the BRIDGE"...

Uh, in 2015, Chelsea were champions, uh, in the second era of José Mourinho.

The following season, it all went tits up.

It was awful.

He was out of a job by November.

Gus Hiddink was brought in, uh, for his second period of caretaker management, and we just stumbled through the season in mid-table.

We get to the end of April, and we were in ninth place, and we went down to Bournemouth and won by four goals to one.

But the Chelsea support, which obviously is very small in, in the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth as any away support is, but very close to the pitch, wasn't having the players coming to, to them at the end of, of the game and, and, uh, uh, enthralling in the victory.

Uh, it was anger, pure anger.

Uh, and the next game coming up was the one that made it so angry because the next game coming up, uh, nine days later, a Monday night game, was at home to Tottenham, and two teams were going for the title, Leicester City and Tottenham.

And there was a clear message from the chanting that I won't repeat because it was extreme that told the players they better beat Tottenham in nine days' time.

Well, in eight days' time, uh, on the Sunday Sky commentary, which I would think in those days was at 4:00, not 4:30 in 2016.

No, it might've been 4:30 by then, but yeah.

Uh, it was Manchester United versus Leicester, and one Martin Tyler was commentating on that game.

It finished one-all, and that meant that Leicester were eight points ahead of Tottenham with three games to play.

So if Tottenham, the next night, didn't win at Stamford Bridge, Leicester were champions.

And I was out that night, the Sunday night.

I was in my car about to drive home when my phone rang, and it was one Martin Tyler on the train coming home.

He'd been obviously doing the commentary at Manchester United.

And now I have to say, without ...

He hates it when his age is given away, but he was, he was 70 at the time, still the number one commentator for Sky Sports.

And he was so excited that he had been moved to do the Chelsea-Leicester game the follow, or the Chelsea-Tottenham game the following night because if Tottenham didn't win, eight points behind, they had three games remaining.

Leicester had two remaining.

If L- Tottenham didn't win, Leicester were champions, and his voice was always on the commentary of announcing the champions have been ever since Sky had started.

So he'd been put on the Chelsea game.

And it was, it was his normal way.
