Bamford's Chelsea career 'couldn't have got off to a more awkward start'

In the latest episode of the My Mate's A Footballer podcast, Patrick Bamford and Joe Wilkinson talk about the Leeds striker's career, from breaking through at Chelsea to his very first appearance on Match of the Day.

Recalling his first-ever training session for the Blues, Bamford says it couldn't have got off to a worse start.

"I was a little bit nervous. It would have been Frank Lampard, Fernando Torres, Raul Meireles, Paulo Ferreira, John Terry, Bosingwa, Daniel Sturridge and Ashley Cole. It was a good group.

"Didier Drogba would have been there but I don't think he was out training that day.
