granville moved to chelsea in 1997 for a fee of £300,000, but lost his place in the chelsea side when graeme le saux was re-signed from blackburn rovers. arguably the highlight of his career occurred during his time at chelsea, playing in the winning side in the 1998 uefa cup winners' cup triumph over vfb stuttgart. it was earlier in that campaign that granville scored his only chelsea goal, against slovan bratislava.
