The Blues striker admitted to a funny nickname he had as a youngster, as he spoke about his idol
Olivier Giroud has revealed that former Chelsea flop Andriy Shevchenko was his childhood hero, and has told of an embarrassing childhood nickname given to him by his brothers.
The 31-year-old was the hero as the Blues beat Liverpool at the weekend, scoring the only goal in a vital 1-0 win.
Shevchenko was less fortunate during his time in west London, failing to make an impression following a record-breaking £30 million move from Milan.
However, the Ukrainian goes down as a legend due to his exploits in Italy, and Giroud says he was a major inspiration.
