Gallas threatened to score own goal - Chelsea

Chelsea claim unhappy French defender William Gallas sensationally threatened to score an own goal and refused to play for the club before he was sold to Arsenal as part of the deal which took Ashley Cole to Stamford Bridge.

The Barclays Premiership champions took the unprecedented step of issuing a statement to inform their fans about the lack of respect the defender showed the club in a bid to get a move away from Chelsea.
