I am truly saddened to hear of John Neals passing, one of my hero's the man who dragged Chelsea out of the doldrums and back to where they belonged during the clubs darkest hours and on a shoestring of a budget too, one of Chelea's finest managers.
Pat Nevin with a nice tribute on the club's site. The part about Neal regularly inviting his dad into his office for pre-match whiskies is great. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/11/pat-nevin--remembering-john.html
