Chelsea fan Emily Rogawski was a social media sensation after wearing her Chelsea jacket to Everton vs Manchester United week 14 Premier League game.
Emily Rogawski was the toast of social media on Sunday when she stood out in the crowd at Goodison Park by wearing a white Chelsea jacket as Everton drew with Manchester United.
The Liverpool-based student was criticised by some fans questioning her fan credibility, others asked if she was lost and some remarked at her appearance - while many were impressed.
The football-mad New Yorker explained to MirrorSport her choice of wardrobe and talks about her love of the round ball game.
Being a passionate football fan from New York studying in Liverpool, weekends like these are a dream come true.
I couldn't contain my excitement as I traveled to Manchester to cheer on my beloved Chelsea.
The atmosphere was electric as Chelsea put on an impressive performance to secure a 3-1 win.
We were on top of the table, and I felt on top of the world knowing that the next day I had another match to attend. This time at Goodison Park.
Some people ask why I would go to this game if I’m clearly a die hard Chelsea fan and not an Everton or Manchester United supporter, but before I was a fan of Chelsea, I was a fan of the beautiful game.
Rogawski reveals she once wore a Drogba cap at an Arsenal game and got a mixed response
I could not pass up seeing the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba, and a few former Chelsea men like Juan Mata, Romelu Lukaku and even Jose Mourinho himself! Especially for only £15!
I put on my only winter jacket, and proudly wore the Chelsea badge.
When I arrived a lot of people gave me funny looks and asked if I was lost.
I explained that I was here to watch a great football match, and also hoping that one of my idols, Bastian Schweinsteiger, would at least be on the bench.
I picked up my ticket from the StubHub collection and rushed straight to my seat.
The Everton fans were so nice and could tell that I was a true fan of football here to enjoy the game.
A lovely little girl even gave me her Everton mint!
Together we watched the final minutes of the Liverpool-Bournemouth game and celebrated the great result.
When the match finally began, I was hypnotised. I love being so close to the action and at eye level studying the game.
It might not have been the most exciting match, but I took in every incredible second.
I never expected to get such a strong reaction being spotted on TV with my Chelsea jacket.
I wore Chelsea gear and a ‘Drogba’ hat as I sat amongst Arsenal fans in January, and even after our win an Arsenal fan grabbed my face to try and kiss me while another gave me the finger!
A lot of people were very supportive of my passion for the game, and I didn’t pay attention to any negativity.
She was also able to cheer on Everton's former Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.
Unfortunately some articles were classless and irrelevant in their content, but at the end of the day I hope people can understand and respect my love for the beautiful game.
I look forward to continuing to go to as many football matches as I can.
For showing so much love for the game, Emily Rogawski is our beauty for the week.
