Bates Tells Blues 'To Shove It'!
Not surprisingly, Bates wasn't best pleased! It is apparent to all that he is like a third wheel at Chelsea, but it cannot be denied that his programme notes are always highliy entertaining.
Here's what Ken had to say about the whole episode: "Bruce Buck told me Peter Kenyon would be doing a profile piece and it would be better if I didn't do my notes.
"I told him he could shove it. I've been doing my programme notes for 21 years and I shan't be doing them again.
"I watched the match and there were an awful lot of fans waving their programmes at me and pointing to my page and saying 'where the hell are you?'"
Is this the end for Batesy?
