Kings Road
Claudio Ranieri has won more games at WHL than AVB has as a manager.
Billy Nicholson won more games at Stamford Bridge than any chalsea manager of his era as well, tht won`t change either, so what`s your point. Although Chelsea were in the second division for a fair bit of Bill`s time.
You just decided to throw some more dirt on the coffin
probably got more comments if anthing, didn't exactly get much debate before that anyway
Wearethefamousthfc.....
Back to the original article, I was given a similar book a few years back, I like the reports on the 1901 and 1921 cups finals best. Excellent read.
Im not even going to bother responding to Sandy now because this thread has been derailed enough as it is.
What i will say is looking back i wish Chelsea decided to ignore the FA and entered the European cup after winning the title in 55, makes me wonder how different things would have been and after seeing videos of Cooke, Ossie and Tambling i wish i was around in the 60's too
Kings Rd
know how you feel mate
Tottenham were robbed in 62 in the european cup semi final and our story could of been much bigger
Charlie cooke is one of the first players i remember as a kid
I used to go and watch QPR a lot aas a young kid
Stan bowles, tony currie, don given etc.. great team and lost the title to Liverpool in 76 on last game of the season
Apologies Weare - this was (is) a good article! I'll have to stop myself from being 'Reeled in'!
Can't find ny references to a Chelsea one though.
I do have a hard back book 'Chelsea FC - The Official Biography', which is a fine read detailing the Club from just before they were formed!
Its a shame Pat Nevin had to play in an era were things weren't so good
Tried to find our one today in waterstones and smiths, not as easy to come by as I had hoped.
im sure this is a new book and they had Chelsea ones there along with Tottenham Arsenal Utd & Liverpool
its like a scrap book of newspaper cuttings
I got it from cosco which is like a trade outlet that you need to be a memeber to shop there, not sure if they are for sell in main stream shops
Brummie.. how are you mate ?
I'm fine thanks Weare - Just getting ready for my sojourn back South again. You and Mrs Weare both well I hope!
I've actually got a Costco card, I'll have to try there next weekend!
I see, the girl in smiths said they had them beforebut couldn't find them listed under books. She told me to pop in in the week and see their magazine lady. Fingers crossed. She beilieves they tend to get them in December and they sell out pretty quick.
How long are you going for Brummie ?
good luck mate and keep your head down
we are depressed after coming home from 3 weeks in the sun mate..
Only for the week Kings, back home Fridays, in a desk job in Bristol ATM, not due back to Sea till late 2013, early 2014!
We have you been then Weare?
Valencia for 22 days, got back about 10 days ago
Im off to Tanzania in march
Brum, let me know if they have them in costco, i think I know someone with a card.
If I find them JFDI, I'll get you one and bring to 'The Wellie', next time I come down! (Shaktar & Man U in the LC)
Valencia's supposed to be a nice City Weare - is it worth a visit?
I have an appartment about 4/5 hours drive south of there!
The bit I best like about the Chelsea history, is when Buster Bates had to put up an electrified fence up to keep the c.h.a.vs. neandrathals under control. All 20 of them at the time.
Big clubs do not put up electrified fences to keep their own supporters under control
==================
I understand Levey is having a swimming pool with a 10meter board put into the 18yrd box to accommodate Bale!
Massic leccy bill, and no magnets strong enough to stop the meter spinning.
No wonder they nearly went bust in the 80s.
While Bates was a his no tolerance attitude to hooliganism was spot on. If you want to get onto the pitch it's going to hurt you first !!
