Chelsea defender Tomas Kalas has said that if he ever refuses to take a photograph wit ha fan, they should slap him!

The 26-year-old, who has signed for Bristol City in a permanent deal, says that he owes a lot to the fans of the club.

Kalas was on loan with Bristol last term.

"In Bristol it's a nice atmosphere everywhere you go," Kalas told the Bristol Post.

"Nowadays loads of people know me now so it's making it quite tough again.

"But as long as somebody isn't rude like one of today's kids. I signed their shirt and they said, 'great own goal' [against Crystal Palace on Saturday] ... in that moment you would rip that shirt off them!

"As long as they ask politely, I've never said no (to signing an autograph) and I'll never do that unless somebody says, as a direct order, 'sign my shirt, take a picture with me' then I don't really hear that.

"But if somebody says please, because that's what my father taught me, say hi to everyone who says hi, say please to anybody who says please.

"If somebody says, 'please can we take a picture' - if I say no then they can slap me."
