As Hamilton confirmed his interest in being part of a bid trying to buy Chelsea, he was at pains to explain he was ‘forced’ to support Arsenal by his sister who used to punch him on the arm, telling him he had to support Arsenal.

It is also worth noting, as you read his quotes below, that neither of the other teams he wanted to support were Chelsea and, if it weren’t for his sister’s intervention, he could have ended up as a Spurs supporter which certainly wouldn’t have made this situation any better.

“When I was young, around the corner from where I lived I played football with all the kids and a couple of my close friends,” he added.

“One was Tottenham, one was Man U and I remember switching between teams when I was younger and getting home and my sister punching me several times in the arm, basically beating me to say I had to support Arsenal.”

Of course, Hamilton will want to get himself on side with the Chelsea fans, but the fact is, most of us are ‘forced’ to support the team of our families.
