He said: “I went to the Arun View Inn a few weeks ago to watch Chelsea against Leicester.
“When I walked in, I heard a guy say ‘that’s him’ and when Chelsea scored he got up, started singing my song and told me who knew it was my song.
“I signed a few autographs for a couple of fans before I left.

The song is published by David Allen International Music and is co-written by former Littlehampton resident Rick Bonner who now lives in Eastbourne.
Allen David said: “Jayson has been a Chelsea fan ever since he was a little boy so this song is something he has wanted to do for a while.
“We hope that this song can compete with Chelsea’s current anthem of ‘Blue is the Colour’.
