Bobby Tambling is most widely known for being Chelsea’s record goal scorer for over 40 years; scoring 202 goals in only 370 games before being famously bettered by Frank Lampard in 2013. But Bobby means so much more to Chelsea supporters of a certain vintage than that.

Martin King and Stamford Chidge were privileged to interview him in one of the Chelsea hotels before a match. We talked to Bobby about playing and learning from the great Jimmy Greaves; the differences in approach between Tommy Docherty and Dave Sexton; the game at Villa Park where he scored 5 goals; the pain of defeat against Spurs in the 1967 FA Cup Final and missing out in the 1970 final as well as following the careers of Kerry Dixon and Frank Lampard wondering which one might break his goal scoring record.
