14 years ago, I watched Chelsea for the first time on television by chance. Chelsea was on the TV that fated evening only because my Korean dad was trying to point out that a football team in London was sponsored by a Korean company, Samsung. I immediately fell in love and slowly, club legends like Drogba and Lamps became my heroes. Fast forward more than a decade, I'm now 20 years old; outside of my family, Chelsea is the one thing I've loved unconditionally and I'm so grateful. Obi, thank you so much for this episode. I'm currently struggling mentally and just to hear the psyche and BTS of my heroes' successes and struggles has genuinely lifted me. Can't wait for the next episodes, keep it up!!!
Chris is a great Co-Host, asks challenging questions but remains respectful of our legends, adds a level of professionalism to the pod and allows Obi to relax. Keep these interviews coming and up the chels!
I love this Podcast SOOOOOO much! The chemistry of the Mikel, Chris and of course the guests are perfection. Incredible stories as always. Loved the JT episode and now tuning in for this, keep it up, and UP THE CHELS!! 💙
After thrashing Spurs last night 4-1 and derailing their season Obi releasing episode 2 with Super Frank caps off a great 24hrs, I really do hope Pochettino makes all the current crop of Chelsea players watch this podcast so they know what it means to play for the Chelsea.
Obi killing it again... Shout out to CM as well. We all know Didier and Cech are gonna be killer episodes too. Btw Super Frank Forever. One Love. Peace.
My personal favorite Super Eagles player of all time literally listened to my heart speak, I literally had said to my friends "Obi Mikel should start a podcast after he retires, he has the right profile". I am super glad you listened to my heart Legend. #LondonIsBlue
I’m a Chelsea fan from Leeds & started supporting the club from young when we had these legends at the club. Frank being my favourite ever player and #8 my number too. Brilliant Podcast Obi, you’ve got it on lockdown much like you did with locking down results in your playing days! 💙 💪
What a quality speaker Super Frank is. A great insight into a proper proper player, and shows why today's players will never hit the level of this generation of player. Great Podcast!
The best and most enjoyable game of football I watched is when we was behind to barca in 1st leg, needed 2 goals and won 4-2 in second leg. End to end football. It was amazing 💙
Thank you Mikel And Chris. I'm a huge fan of this podcast. I totally enjoy the back story and philosophy that drove the Chelsea team of your time, the camaraderie you enjoy with your fellow old boys and the respect you have for each other. Please keep it coming. I look forward to seeing more of the old boys coming on the podcast. I guess we will have an incredible session with Salomon Kalou. Both of you seem to enjoy a lot of friendly banters. I look forward to that. 😅😅😅
Absolutely loved it. Loved the JT episode as well. I'm sure other Chelsea fans and football fans in general will be feeling that way. Keep up the amazing work Mikel, bossing it like you did the middle of the pitch.
Hopefully this isnt missed in the comments but please with all your power try get Roman abramovich on this podcast. We often miss what role a owner plays in success and i would love to hear his personal insight on the way he made decisions and ran the club. Big up to the podcasts.
So great he could give so many players debuts. Frank Lampard should be very proud of his time on earth, not just as a manager, but the inspiration he has been to so many. What a great example of men and authentic masculinity.
Dunno who the guy is with obi but he’s a brilliant interviewer. Lampard a hero for 15 years and haven’t heard some of the questions he’s asked. Mikel a legend inal ❤️
love the pod Obi. one recommendation, can we get some guests in the studio with you guys for some shows? i think the chemistry will 10x the already fantastic content.
As a long time gooner, i always liked Frank. His dad was immense for the Hammers and i coveted Frank as a gooner. Along with patrick viera......good god almighty.
I've been a Chelsea fan since '97 and as a Nigerian, this podcast is really my favourite on RUclips at the moment! Shout out to you both; Obi and Chris. I hope King Didier is the next on the podcast. I love the guests you are bringing on the show! I'm elated! UP THE CHELS! 💙🇳🇬
Same here. Since Babayaro signed for the club. As hard as it was to get tv coverage back then, I always looked forward to the highlights and newspapers on Mondays. Those were simpler times lol.
@@lanresadiq4470Same here! Rothmans Pall Mall show or something back then... I had a book where I wrote names of players and managers of all the clubs in the BPL back then. Great times!
When people talk Bellingham scoring goals is unprecedented I know the football world doesn't give Frank Lampard enough respect for all he did as a player. Consistent goals 20+. 100% percent always. A hero to me. Like Drogba, Mikel and Terry!!! Lampard > Gerrard.
If a player like Eden Hazard could have Frank's mentality, he would have been the next best thing after messi and Ronaldo. One player in the current Chelsea team with Frank's kind of mentality is Mudryk. That kid is going straight to the top, I can feel it in my veins.
Whata podcast! Big up Obi and Chris, Im glad yall collabed to do this because your past interviews and convos have always been lit...and now for yall to do it proper with 2 weeks in a row with Chelsea legends, thank you so 🙏🏽 these are so insightful and captivating conversations that many fans want to know what its like in the locker room and on the pitch. Great to hear how the players felt about that 2009 sham ref against Barca 🤯
Ran into many Chelsea legends in NYC walking about. Never ran into Mikel and I'm gutted. Come round and I swear I won't ask you anything about Chelsea...the neighborhood in NYC lol. Love the pod and your insight. Top man and always thought many fans thought you were undervalued to the team.

Obi thank you for bringing our legends to this show
Yes thanks Obi Mikel so much.. watch as many interviews of these guys but u bring a new perspective on things.. refreshing
Mikel just casually dropping one of the best sports podcasts of 2023. Honestly, this is so much like Mikel. Looking forward to more of these!
Unexpected but great. Candid
Seriously underrated player Mikel. You knew the game was done when Obi came on
Mikel was not a super sub lol.
@@TopeA8he locked it down..
First Captain, Leader, Legend. John Terry and now Super Frank...hope King Drogba is next to be a guest
👀
Next might be big Pete
Need Big Pete after
Thank you Obi for bringing this content together. Would love to see you interview Eden Hazard at some point.
This comment aged very well
Super Frank Lampard, true legend!!! #WinningMachine #BlueIsTheColour
Chris is a great Co-Host, asks challenging questions but remains respectful of our legends, adds a level of professionalism to the pod and allows Obi to relax. Keep these interviews coming and up the chels!
Top tier double pivot If I ever saw one, And this week they have Lampard in the 10.
I love this Podcast SOOOOOO much! The chemistry of the Mikel, Chris and of course the guests are perfection. Incredible stories as always. Loved the JT episode and now tuning in for this, keep it up, and UP THE CHELS!! 💙
Thanks so much!
Up the Chels! My favorite player and the best Chelsea player of all time Super Frank Lampard! Thank you for this interview Obi! 🙏 🇳🇬
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not enough credit is given to Mikel for his motm performance in the UCL final, was phenomenal that day
Great job, Mikel! Adding visuals to your podcast would be a great idea to keep the audience interested and engaged with nostalgia.
Kudos!
This is a good comment and this is how people should make comments on the internet. Kudos 👍
After thrashing Spurs last night 4-1 and derailing their season Obi releasing episode 2 with Super Frank caps off a great 24hrs, I really do hope Pochettino makes all the current crop of Chelsea players watch this podcast so they know what it means to play for the Chelsea.
I'd like to hope the current Chelsea players watch this. I hope it's featured on The 5th Stand app eventually too!
Obi killing it again... Shout out to CM as well. We all know Didier and Cech are gonna be killer episodes too. Btw Super Frank Forever. One Love. Peace.

So great he could give so many players debuts. Frank Lampard should be very proud of his time on earth, not just as a manager, but the inspiration he has been to so many. What a great example of men and authentic masculinity.
So many wonderful memories. Great to hear how the players experienced those moments, and tying that to mine.
Dunno who the guy is with obi but he’s a brilliant interviewer. Lampard a hero for 15 years and haven’t heard some of the questions he’s asked. Mikel a legend inal ❤️
love the pod Obi. one recommendation, can we get some guests in the studio with you guys for some shows? i think the chemistry will 10x the already fantastic content.
As a long time gooner, i always liked Frank. His dad was immense for the Hammers and i coveted Frank as a gooner. Along with patrick viera......good god almighty.
He is and will always be my hero. Was my favourite player growing up for Chelsea.
Would love to see a group podcast with a group of players, would be such a good watch
As a Nigerian Arsenal fan, I love the podcast
Thank you Obi for this podcast, am loving ut already 💙💙💙💙
Wow it's finally here..this podcast is simply Amazing
Hope you enjoyed it!
Big up Obi! Bring in more legends if you can brother! Brings back the best memories for me growing up💙💙💙KTBFH
It's nice to see Chelsea content online. We need to grow our presence because no one outside this club will give us any flowers.
What a great pod
What an articulate man player! Super Frank! 💙⚽️
Lamps is my favourite player of all time . Nothing will ever change that...
I've been a Chelsea fan since '97 and as a Nigerian, this podcast is really my favourite on RUclips at the moment!
Shout out to you both; Obi and Chris. I hope King Didier is the next on the podcast.
I love the guests you are bringing on the show! I'm elated!

Mikel looks fresh! Clearly right the investments since retiring
Obi thanks 🙏

Lampard > Gerrard.
Good job and very interesting. Please bring Eden to studio
Best podcast on the internet
Thanks alot obi you making nigeria 🇳🇬 proud Please help us bring Drogba to the podcast

Cole Palmer IMO
Don’t give up misha
Mudryk and Lampard in same sentence? No current player comes close in mentality to the reserve players of the 2005 - 2017 era
I am big Chelsea fan from Indonesia, Keep the blue flag flying high , Good Job Obi👍
Don’t worry lads…No one remembers the picture…
Everyone remembers your immense performances. Legends!
Great interview Mikel. Love you mate.
Frank is the most disciplined player I ever seeing played, I watched him tucking his jersey every time of playing! Less carded midfielder.
my new favorite podcast!!! Cant wait for episode 3!!!
💪🏻💪🏻
I tried listening to all the chelsea podcasts available and this is the only one thats actually interesting and not just a bunch of moaning
Everything my mentor do is always on point. I love you Mikel I want to also attain your height in the game
Obi calling Lamps old boy makes me feel like they were at war together. And they were tbf. Great players man.
The best podcast and all the proper chel and chelsea legends ❤
Mikel is very engaging
Mikel one of the main reasons I'm a full Chelsea fan
Thank you Obi. I love our podcast 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Super Frankie!!! Another good episode Obi One.
Lampard is so intelligent
Podcast for the Chelsea fans... finally!!
When We see players like Lampard, Gerrard, Terry and Roney we just remember PlayStation 1 & 2 FIFA, PES and Winning Eleven!
This podcast is amazing.
Lampard = Legend
💯
Great podcast. Future guests hopefully : Drogba, Essien ,Hazard, Kalou, Malouda, Carvalho, Makelele, Cech, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole, Ivanovic, Ballack
Ivanovic I would love to see that
Love the pod Obi!!! Hazard needs to show up sooner than later buddy. Up the Chels 🔵
Underated Obi. The guy that performed an integral role for Chelsea and was Nigeria's captain and number 10
Mikel is always a winner, and this podcast is already a W
And we love you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a legend! Super Frankie 💙Every Chelsea FC supporter must subscribe to this channel.

What a session! Amazing! Didier Drogba has to be next!
Whata podcast! Big up Obi and Chris, Im glad yall collabed to do this because your past interviews and convos have always been lit...and now for yall to do it proper with 2 weeks in a row with Chelsea legends, thank you so 🙏🏽 these are so insightful and captivating conversations that many fans want to know what its like in the locker room and on the pitch. Great to hear how the players felt about that 2009 sham ref against Barca 🤯
love these interviews.
Ran into many Chelsea legends in NYC walking about. Never ran into Mikel and I'm gutted. Come round and I swear I won't ask you anything about Chelsea...the neighborhood in NYC lol. Love the pod and your insight. Top man and always thought many fans thought you were undervalued to the team.
Kalou, Malouda, Ricardo Carvalho or paulo ferreira (rarely heard from him)... next please 😁😁😁😁 golden era
These guys had alot of fun i can tell but also come weekend they delivered....cant wait to hear drogba"s stories
First JT then Frank, love this
Quality Upload!
Mikel, Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Makelele - what a midfield.
Yes we did question obi if he’s good enough to play for Chelsea but to be honest in the second season we started to see his qualities 👏
