Description

Now in paperback, this is a fascinating collection of photographs of Chelsea Football Club dating from its early days in 1905 until 1992, painstakingly selected from the Daily Mirror s extensive archive of tens of thousands of images. These photos tell the story of one of Britain s most glamorous and often-controversial football clubs – from Sir Matt Busby s three guest appearances during WWII, to regular matchday visits from Steve McQueen and Raquel Welch during Tommy Docherty s reign in the swinging 60s. There s magnificent photography of star players such as Ron Chopper Harris, the 1971 UEFA Cup Winners Cup side, and David Speedie and Kerry Dixon – the heroes of the 80s revival. If blue is the colour, you ll find it in here.
