New book - First Football Histories: The Chelsea FC story

The Chelsea FC story is the second in the First Football Histories series of books from The Football Ground. It is not intended to be a comprehensive history of Chelsea FC from training ground to the trophy cabinet. It is written as a story for the fans – a narrative of characters, scenes and events that provide an introduction to some key moments in the club’s history; from its foundation in England’s ‘Edwardian’ era through to the modern day, and a country contemplating its departure from Europe.

Ironically, it is in Europe where many of the most compelling Chelsea stories and successes can be described, from being the only British club to have won the European Cup Winners’ Cup twice and the only team from London club to lift the Champions League trophy. Chelsea’s European pedigree stretches back to the very first European Cup competition more than 60 years ago when they were the original British team to be invited to take part.

You can find reviews of this book on amazon. Just search for the title or 'Mark Rasdall' in any amazon store and the titles will appear. You can download the digital version to a Kindle or Kindle app on PC, iPad, iPhone and other devices.

History of Football: Chelsea FC

Chelsea Football Club was founded in 1905 by Edwardian businessman, Henry Augustus Mears, a football enthusiast who was concerned that London still did not have a club in the First Division of the Football League.

Mears felt there was potential for an old athletics ground – Stamford Bridge – to be developed and a new team formed specifically for football, named Chelsea F.C.  (Stamford Bridge F.C., Kensington F.C. and London F.C. all having been rejected).
