The talented French Chelsea footballer is as famous for his brilliant game on the field as he is for his “difficult” reputation, which wasn’t much improved during the last World Cup scandal. However, when the notoriously secretive Nicolas Anelka (33) overcame his usual reserve towards the press to welcome Chic-Londres in his Wimbledon’s home a few months ago, he gave us a very different glimpse of his personality.
