Jakob Kjeldbjerg: My big mistake in front of Chelsea players on first day

Former Chelsea player Jakob Kjeldbjerg has recalled his first day with the Blues.

The Dane was signed by Chelsea in the 1990s from Silkeborg.

He told Bold: "When I switched to Chelsea from Silkeborg, I took a trip to Viborg and bought a suit. I became a millionaire and did not think much about footwear. So I buy a pair of reasonable shoes and do not think about it anymore.

"So I show up for the first training in Chelsea in a dark blue suit, nice shoes and white tennis socks. That was silly, because when I come back to the locker room after the first workout, the suit is crumpled up in the corner. And the white tennis socks are cut up, and then it is written on the two halves: F**k off - white socks!

"It was 'welcome to the dressing room'. The other Chelsea players showed up in training clothes so I was completely overdressed. It was an own goal!"
