AMID the doom and gloom that is Chelsea FC there is one small beacon of light.
Midfielder Mason Mount has not forgotten the power of his position in football and the good he can do with his fame.

Mount is an ambassador for what must be one of the most heart-wrenching causes possible: Together For Short Lives.
The charity aims to help families and kids with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
Talk of war and crisis fills the air at Stamford Bridge, these days.
Mount’s employer Roman Abramovich has put the club up for sale – before being hit with Government sanctions.
But the classy England star did not forget an important promise.
The morning after Chelsea’s 4-0 win at Burnley, Mount followed through on a pledge to take a one-hour training session at the club’s Cobham training ground in return for a £20,000 donation to the cause.
Nine youngsters were put through their paces by a player who doesn’t look much older than 12 himself.
And I’m told it went on for far longer than an hour.
