“I had a difficult debut season in a Chelsea shirt. And yet, Gianluca w...” — Chris Sutton Quote

I had a difficult debut season in a Chelsea shirt. And yet, Gianluca was so good to me. Some managers might have shunned me, criticised me in their press conferences, called me a waste of money.

I know I played with head injuries. My career finished with one. I wish there had been a procedure in place to look after my wellbeing when we played but there was not and we have to learn.

Eric Cantona used to stare at the goalkeeper when taking penalties. He'd wait for his opponent's knee to give away in the direction he was going, then duly stick the ball in the other side. It's an amazing skill to have and one Ivan Toney has very much mastered.

If you're going to go down, it needs to be because your opponent has created the situation, not you.

It's always good to beat a top team like Chelsea.

I like Chelsea Handler.

I would have loved to play for Liverpool, Manchester United or Chelsea.

Chelsea is a big club with fantastic players; every manager wants to coach a such a big team. But I would never take that job, in respect for my former team at Liverpool, no matter what.

I had this dream for a long time and it was a dream to play for Chelsea and not for another club.
