Niall Horan might be a huge Derby County fan, but that didn’t stop him basically becoming a Chelsea player a few years ago.
With the help of Jose Mourinho, who convinced Chelsea’s doctors Horan was one of his players, the ‘Slow Hands’ singer spent a few months in rehab with the Blues.
He had undergone knee reconstruction surgery, and had to guarantee he was fully recovered in time for One Direction’s upcoming tour which was scheduled to start just a few months later.
The 24-year-old was even snapped taking part in training sessions at Chelsea’s Cobham base, alongside the likes of John Terry and Willian.
