Synopsis
Chelsea Football Club is today a brand-name industry worth millions and football's longest-running soap opera. Brian Mears was chairman of Chelsea at arguably the most volatile period of its tempestuous history - when the club tumbled catastrophically from being Kings of Europe to relegated has-beens. The only time Chelsea ever won the Championship was in 1955 when Brian's father was chairman. This book tells of their unique triumph and their half-a-century quest to repeat it. Marvel at the talents of the greatest goal machines the club has ever produced: Jimmy Greaves and Peter Osgood in their prime. Discover the truth about the golden age of the Bad Boys.The former chairman tells of his dealings with the most feared fighting crew in the game: the notorious Chelsea Headhunters. Margaret Thatcher enlisted his help in trying to stop the havoc they wreaked. "Chelsea: A Modern History" analyzes the "nouveau" Chelsea with their cool foreign players and millionaire lifestyles. Read a roller-coaster history of the club through the 1960s, '70s and '80s.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: A cracking read for any blues fan, 30 Nov 2004 By  Mr. Sr Edwards "chelsea_steve" - See all my reviews    This review is from: Chelsea: A 100-year History (Hardcover) This is by far the best Chelsea book I've read so far. The author, Brian Mears, is a former chairman and grandson of the club's founder. Written in a very entertaining and often humerous style, this book doesn't dwell too much on mundane match descriptions (which can be a failing in footy books). It covers all aspects of this colourful club's history, it's creation, players, fans, managers and all of the various characters and incidents which have shaped Chelsea FC down the turbulent road towards it's centenary year. And boy, have there been some characters! "Little" Willie Foulke, Hughie Gallacher, Lawton, Bentley, Greavsie, Ossie, Huddy, Chopper Harris, Wisey and many more illuminate the tales in these here pages. Packed with the kind of insight which few other authors would have, this is a must have book for anyone with Chelsea in their heart.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

If you were around in the sixties, the 'Golden Years' of the blues, you will love this book. How refreshing to see such a fine tribute to the late Peter Houseman. A must for any Chelsea fan  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 2 customer reviews...		Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
