Shevchenko stays home in the Batcave

By: Bob | May 1st, 2007

batcave.jpgSo we know that Chelsea Andriy Shevchenko will not be playing in today’s Champions League semifinal match against Liverpool. We also know there are conflicting reports about why he has stayed behind in London while the rest of his teammates do battle at Anfield. Some say that it stems from a dispute with his manager. Sheva and the team say that he is merely injured. A third alternative explanation is that he has stayed home to work on his Batcave.

When you live in a city where parking is hard to come by like London and you have a fleet of high priced automobiles, the only thing that can really be done is to build a £1million underground “Batcave”. That is exactly what Shevchenko is doing.

At the touch of a button on an electronic keypad, the £30million Ukrainian international, who earns £120,000 a week, will be able to raise or lower the vehicles by remote control from the underground car park on hydraulic ramps.

Sheva, as he is known to his legion of fans, has asked his local council for planning permission to build the high-tech six-car garage.

Among others, it will be home to his £130,000 Bentley Continental GT Turbo, £60,000 Mercedes four-wheel drive and £110,000 Ferrari F360. Each will be housed in cages, which are mechanically shuffled around the basement area.

Sounds like quite the setup. If Sheva is ever in need of some extra change he could always rent out a couple spaces to his Premiership auto loving friends.

    Thanks for looking into this. No other website has bothered to report any further on this situation.

    Well considering the UK media are ’saying’ that Sheva is out the door in the Summer – the whole story is a crock of shit and not worth worrying about!!!!

    Bob I am inclined to agree that Sheva is in the batcave because it would explain where Silvio Berlusconi has been as well. I can’t help but think they are scouring Ebay for Ronaldinho.

    FWIW, Sheva actually was at the match. He just traveled the day of rather than beforehand, for training. (And I LOVE that his parking situation is all over the media. Maybe Brett Farve should try this next time ESPN have the nerve to talk about someone else — that whole retirement thing is getting old.)

    [...] join him at FC Moscow. Even with that whole £130,000 per-week salary aside, this rumor is insane. Who the hell would leave a Batcave? (And nobody in Milan will shut up about Andriy. At least somebody loves him.) Jens Lehmann is [...]
