    Much has been made of the so-called "Battle for Stamford Bridge" between Harding and former Chelsea owner, Ken Bates.

    But little is known or spoken about with regard to Harding outside of this.

    Who was he? What was he like? How did his friends and family see him? Through extensive conversations with those closest to him, The Blueprint is bringing to light the persona and the humanity of the man that was Matthew Harding.
