Micky Somers-old Chelsea player

I wrote to Micky some years ago and our correspondance resulted in several phone calls in which helped me enormously with some old Chelsea boys from the early 60's.I found a picture of him in a Chelsea youth team of 1964 (top picture)so sent it to him also asking if he could identify the other Chelsea players I didn't know in the photo.My letter came back this morning signed by him but also accompanied with a note from his wife.she said Micky now suffered from Dementia and although he's identified the players he couldn't be 100% sure.He also sent me a photo of Chelsea youth team of 1963 (bottom photo)when they went an Amsterdam tournament and beat ADO(Amsterdam),Feynoord,Go Ahead,Rheims and Spurs in the Final.I'm absolutely chuffed with this photo.A real keepsake of his that he's given to me! Am writing back to his Wife to thank them

Very sad to hear that Micky has dementia but unfortunately we are hearing a lot more old players are getting this condition. I'm sure though that your letter gave him some great memories to think back to. Two brilliant team photos and a wonderful momento for you. Nice one Wayne.
