Sheva Thanks Everyone

Andriy Shevchenko left Chelsea on Monday night with a final expression of gratitude towards Roman Abramovich for the "help and encouragement" that got him through his nightmare spell in west London.
The Ukrainian passed a medical at AC Milan's Milanello training complex on Monday to put the finishing touch to his return to the club.
"I would like to thank Chelsea Football Club - the fans, staff, players and management - for all the support you gave me during my time at the club," he told www.chelseafc.com. "I would also like to express my gratitude to Roman Abramovich for all his help and encouragement."
He added: "It was unfortunate I suffered a number of injuries during my time here but I always gave my all, whatever the circumstances.
"I really have enjoyed playing in England and have made many friendships that will stay with me forever. I will always look back with fond memories of my time at this really great club. Thank you."
The striker arrived in Italy late on Sunday night after Chelsea agreed terms with the Serie A side on a deal to take Shevchenko back to Milan - the club he represented for seven seasons between 1999 and 2006.
Shevchenko's delight to be back in Milan has been shared by Rossoneri playing staff and directors alike.
Ronaldinho, Clarence Seedorf and Kakha Kaladze have all spoken of their glee at the move, while star player Kaka revealed he was "extra happy that Sheva has returned".
