When Gianluca Vialli signed Carlo Cudicini as Ed De Goey’s backup in 1999, very few people had even heard of Carlo.

Now he is spoken of as one of the best goalkeeper’s in the world!


I can count the number of bad games Carlo has had for Chelsea on the fingers of one hand. But I would need an awful lot of hands to count the number of times he has saved our bacon!


In short, he is immense. And I think I speak for all Chelsea fans when I say that we wouldn’t trade him for anyone.
