This must be one of the more intreaguing transfer arrangements. Needless to say with the world Cup coming up a lot of the media attention will be focused on this game, that is if it comes to play. I say a deal is a deal and that for all the harm it would do to Chelsea it would be a massive success story for the small Scottish club. Well done for trying to make sure it comes to pass.

Scottish club East Stirlingshire FC are cheekily asking Chelsea to comply with the terms of a 52-year old transfer deal between the clubs.


In 1962, East Stirling sold their player Eddie McCreadie (pic below)
 to Chelsea in a deal worth £5,000. As part of the deal, Chelsea agreed to play the Scottish League Two side in two friendly matches, both home and away. They played them in East Stirling, but to this day the second match at Stamford Bridge has not taken place.
