Austin family win Family of the Season!
26/10/2009
The Austin family have won Chelsea's 2009/10 Family of the Season!
Dad David, Mum Sharon and their children, Charlotte and Lewis, are mad Chelsea fans and follow the Blues at home and abroad.
Both Charlotte and Lewis have followed their parents to the Bridge and beyond since they were born, making them the obvious choice for our
Family of the Season.
'Charlotte first came along in 1990 and Lewis came along in 1993," says David. "They have been brought up on Chelsea, week-in, week-out.'
But it was Dad who really started the family support. 'I was 13 when I went to my first game. It was against Liverpool and we won 3-1 in 1978, Steve Finnieston scored two and Tommy Langley got the third.'
To mark the beginning of their reign as Chelsea's number one fan family, the Austins will be presented with a signed shirt before kick-off at the Wolves game.
'I can't wait,' said David, 'we've bought extra tickets for family members and it's going to be a real family day, it will be brilliant to be out on the pitch in front of all the fans.'
