Damien Duff has opened up on the strong drinking culture that cemented the bond in Chelsea's title-winning dressing room.
Duff spent three years at Stamford Bridge where he was part of Jose Mourinho's side that secured the club's first Premier League success.
Despite the side excelling on the pitch, that did not stop them enjoying themselves off it, and, as the Irishman revealed, being partial to the odd drink off the field also helped to unify the team.
'Even when we were playing 60 or 70 games a season, we were out together on the town and pissed,' Duff told the Open Goal podcast.
