“I joined Chelsea when I was six years old and we’ve been through a lot together. Winning the Youth Cup, my Player of the Year awards, the Super Cup, the Club World Cup and of course that unforgettable night when we won the Champions League. I want to say thank you to the academy – Jim and Neil for being so influential to me from such a young age. The managers I’ve worked under – Frank, Thomas and Graham. The backroom staff, the unsung heroes of Cobham, all of my teammates over the years that have become my bothers, my family for the continuous love and support and most importantly you guys. For sticking with me throughout. Wish you all the best.”, Mount finished.
