Welcome to a brand-new Chelsea FanCast series to keep you entertained on a Friday evening while there is no actual football to talk about.

One of the things we’ve always wanted to do is to talk in depth about how all of us on the Chelsea FanCast became Chelsea supporters, what our first match was, our favourite matches and players and our best and worst moments following Chelsea, for some of us over 50 years.

It’s been a roller coaster of glorious unpredictability (with apologies to Mark Worrall) and it has most definitely been emotional.

In the fifth episode, Chelsea FanCast's Dean Mears joins Stamford Chidge to talk about his lifelong support of Chelsea including his first game in 1997 and falling in love with the Chelsea Revolution era of Gullit, Vialli and Zola.

Dean takes us through some of his favourite matches, players and highs as a Chelsea fan and some of the lows.
