Mick Greenaway

Mick Greenaway (1949-1999) was a famous football fan and die-hard supporter of Chelsea FC.

Raised in Billing Street, near Stamford Bridge, his adoptive father was a Chelsea fan, who introduced him to the club during the glorious 1954-55 season.[1]

He was the creator of the Zigger Zagger chant, and would introduce it to other Chelsea fans to sing following him.[2] He also created the chant 'Ask Old Brown To Tea', which started the tradition of Chelsea fans throwing celery into the pitch.[3]
