But that wasn’t the first time I had met Charles. I had met him before, when I was summoned with another junior boy to meet him before he went to our school, Gordonstoun, in Scotland.

The 23-year-old’s Stamford Bridge career started with a good performance in a 2-1 win away to Tottenham, prior to which he had rushed back from a knee injury in order to help his new club solve a selection crisis.
