PICTURE PERFECT FOR POTTER

-

NEW Chelsea manager Graham Potter was amused to see a photograph of the goalkeepin­g coach he has brought with him from Brighton, Ben Roberts, on the walls of the Blues’ training ground on his first visit to the club last week. Roberts is featured in an action shot taken from his playing days as a goalkeeper at Middlesbro­ugh, although the 47-year-old may not appreciate the image as he is pictured being beaten by a shot from Roberto Di Matteo just 43 seconds into the 1997 FA Cup final. Potter will do well to match Di Matteo’s legendary status among Chelsea fans, which was further enhanced when he guided the club to the first Champions League title in their history, against Bayern Munich in 2012. Potter will also hope to last longer than the five months the Italian managed to survive after being given the job on a permanent basis.
