Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHELSEA FC: THE OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY goes to the heart of what gives the club its personality. The author has access to all the key characters, including Mourinho, Abramovich and the star players, plus legendary names of the past. He addresses all the controversies, including: the near suffocation through lack of cash in the 1970s and in 2002; the impact of Abramovich's money; the club and fans' response to racism; how the hooliganism which dogged Chelsea for years has been tackled. On the lighter side, Chelsea is regarded as the country's glamour club, and fashions, good and dreadful, will feature alongside celebrity fans and the worlds of art and music. And then there is the football at the core of it all, creating moments of huge tension and excitement.

Download or read book Blue Days The Transformation Of Chelsea Under Hoddle Gullit And Vialli written by Chris Wright and published by . This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blue Days The Transformation Of Chelsea Under Hoddle, Gullit And Vialli Chelsea season ticket holder Chris Wright was 10-years old when Glenn Hoddle took charge as player / manager at Stamford Bridge in June 1993. Hoddle proved to be the catalyst for change at the London club as during the following seven years the Blues were transformed from also-rans to serial silverware winners. In Blue Days, Chris shares his experiences as a young lad growing up supporting Chelsea during what was a truly memorable era. In July 1995, Hoddle persuaded Dutch superstar Ruud Gullit to join his football revolution at the Bridge and young Chris was mesmerised by the midfield maestro's talents. In May 1996, Hoddle left Chelsea to become England manager and Gullit stepped up to replace him as Blues boss whilst continuing to play. Legendary Italian trio Roberto Di Matteo, Gianluca Vialli and Gianfranco Zola joined the 'sexy football' party and Chelsea marched on to Wembley where they won the FA Cup - a fitting tribute to much-loved director Matthew Harding, killed in a helicopter crash in October 1996. Midway through the following season, controversial Chelsea chairman Ken Bates fired Gullit and installed Vialli as player / manager. In spite of the drama, the campaign still brought glory as the Italian steered the Blues to triumphs in the League Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup finals. Over the course of the next two years, Chelsea won the Super Cup, played in the Champions League, almost won the Premier League and in May 2000 won the FA Cup again. Vialli's status as a Blues legend was secured, but less than four months later he was sacked by Bates. Chris is able to reflect on what had been a whirlwind few years at the Bridge and in Blue Days his vivid memories shine through. There's no doubt that Roman Abramovich took Chelsea to the next level when he bought the Club in 2003, but as you will read in the pages of this book the seeds for the stellar success that followed were sown by Glenn Hoddle, Ruud Gullit and Gianluca Vialli.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
