Download or read book The A to Z of Chelsea written by Neil Smith and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The A to Z of Chelsea "Where Were You When We Were Shocking?' is a selection of Neil Smith's memories from just a few of the now (July 2018) in excess of 2000 Chelsea matches he has attended. It is also a look back at some of the occurrences he witnessed that in some way shaped his life. Neil's first game was at Stamford Bridge in 1966 when Chelsea beat West Ham 6-2 on April 9th when he attended with his older brother Martin. When he got home after that game, he wrote some words about the day and it was the start of a habit that, as he got older, became a diary. The title of Neil's book is in no way a 'slight' on the glorious Chelsea Football Club. Indeed, like many others of his ilk, Chelsea have always been the best football club in the world with the book's name simply reflecting the fact that they weren't as successful back then as they have been since around 1997. While there are plenty of books about matches played, individual players and managers and of course the historical aspect of Chelsea FC, 'Where Were You When We Were Shocking?' gives a unique perspective of following the side from one of the club's most loyal supporters. 'Thoughtful, funny, away-day reminiscences on days spent supporting the Blues, and how the less important things in life very nearly get in the way.' Rick Glanvill Official historian Chelsea FC

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing insecurity in the English society is countered by a resurgence of nostalgia and remembering the old times. This phenomenon can be found in football, too, but it differs from the need for nostalgia that is visible in society. High Street shops like Past Times are hugely successful in selling commodities that remember the English Commonwealth with goods from the countries that once belonged to it. Also, this becomes visible by the many replica items of daily life that are designed in a retro style but contain modern technology such as radios, watches, alarm clocks and furniture. Football fans can purchase replica shirts of their favourite club from the seventies and even earlier.In the field of football, the introduction of the Premier League in England has changed the face of football massively. After the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters football fans got active themselves and started to publish football fanzines. In these outlets they mostly opposed the view that every football fan is a hooligan. They also used football fanzines as a platform to remember their heroes and glories of eras long gone. For this reason cultures of memory did become a part of football fanzines and did so very vivid.

Book excerpt: On the final day of the 2002 / 2003 football season Chelsea Football Club recorded a famous 2-1 victory over Liverpool, thereby qualifying to play in the following seasons European Champions League competition. Resigned to losing Gianfranco Zola, who had recently been voted the club's greatest ever player, and with no money available for Chelsea's charismatic coach Claudio Ranieri to strengthen the squad, the prospects for the coming season looked to be self-limiting. That had been the general consensus of Marco, Young Dave, Ugly John, Ossie and the rest of the Chelsea Gate 17 boys as they frittered away the summer months waiting for the new European campaign to begin. Enter Roman Abramovich. The billionaire Russian oligarch purchased the club and financed a spending spree unprecedented in the history of the game. 'Glorious unpredictability,' that's what Marco called it ...that Chelsea factor, you just never knew what was going to happen next. Whatever it was, the Gate 17 boys had no intention of missing any of it ...they'd even planned to make a spiritual pilgrimage to Sardinia to watch their hero Zola. Over Land and Sea re-writes the current trend in depressingly violent football literature.
