    Wayne Bridge has opened up on the time he was waited on by sexy stewardesses on former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's private jet.<\/p>\n

    The ex-Blues left-back, 43, was given a special flight back to London by Abramovich after he suffered a broken leg and broken ankle in a Premier League clash against Newcastle in February 2005.<\/p>\n

    Bridge had changed his boots from studs to blades before the game and his foot got stuck in the ground as Alan Shearer tackled him, which resulted in an eight-month lay off.<\/p>\n

    Appearing on the That Peter Crouch Podcast, his old England colleague joked it was worth it after he'd spoken about the "unbelievable" experience flying with Abramovich.<\/p>\n

    Bridge recalled: "The funniest thing was Roman ended up picking me up after the game to fly me back home and I had obviously the laughing gas, or gas and air but I was laughing on it.<\/p>\n

    "He picked me, took me to the local hospital to see what was wrong, then he picked me up. Got a car, took me to the airport and then he picked me up on his plane which was unbelievable. <\/p>\n

    "But oh my god, the women that were serving on there. My god! I remember Roman looked over to me and went 'don't seem too unhappy now do ya'."<\/p>\n

    Crouch couldn't help himself as he joked: "So wearing the blades was actually the best thing you did!"<\/p>\n

    Before Bridge continued: "The sofas in there, he had some kind of suede-y material around the outside, it was just so plush. And the food mate, the food was unreal.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    "[I was] lying down, he's got a massive sofa, me lying down with my feet up. Women coming just serving food, like smoked salmon, might have even been oysters, there was all sorts on there."<\/p>\n

    Abramovich owned Chelsea from June 2003 until May 2022, when a Todd Boehly-led consortium bought him out after his assets had been frozen by the UK government amid his nation Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
