Product Description
First published in 2004, "Over Land and Sea" is Mark Worrall's wickedly entertaining chronicle of Chelsea's dramatic attempt to win the European Champions League during what turned out to be the most tumultuous season in the club's history. Having qualified for the competition following a famous end of season victory over Liverpool, the Blues charismatic manager Claudio Ranieri, short on cash and resigned to losing his star player, Gianfranco Zola, looked like having little chance of success.Enter Roman Abramovich. The billionaire Russian oligarch purchased the club and financed a spending spree unprecedented in the annals of the game. "Over Land and Sea" overlays the team's fortunes with the transient adventures of Blues fanatic Marco and his Chelsea Gate 17 cohorts as they carouse their way around the bars, fleshpots and football grounds of Europe.'Glorious unpredictability,' that's what the Gate 17 boys called it. 'Pure Chels,' you never knew what was going to happen next. Whatever it was, Marco, Young Dave, Ugly John, Ossie, Baby Gap Brian and the rest of the Gate 17 crew had no intention of missing any of it...they'd even planned a spiritual pilgrimage to Sardinia to watch their hero Zola playing for his hometown club Cagliari.

Humour, real-life characters, Chelsea FC, all detailed in a way which spirits you from your comfy reading armchair right into the stadiums and the bars over land and sea. I've just ordered the follow up One Man Went to Mow. This is football writing at its very best.

If you ask me this book tops the lot when it comes to telling what its like to watch Chelsea away. Nice cover as well, proper Chelsea blue. I was at the Arsenal match at the library when we won with Bridgeys goal and the way its recalled in here is like you was back there. Cheers for the memory. Cheers for the book mum. Merry Christmas.

Kerry Dixon, Chelsea's goalscoring legend gives Mark Worrall's great book the respect above on the back cover. Good enough, for any true Blue, so good enough for me!
