Chelsea Football Club
Nickname: The Blues
Formed: 1905
Stadium Capacity: 41, 841
Pitch: 103 x 67 metres
Training Ground: The training ground is at Cobham in Surrey but sessions are not open to the general public. Special open days are organised at Stamford Bridge when fans can see the team train.
For years, Chelsea's trophy cabinet was a pretty empty place. In the last decade though it's been positively bulging at the seams!
Our first 50 years were a desert as far as silverware was concerned with the league title in 1955 the first great achievement. The 1960s and early 1970s saw more silverware added but then another barren period of 26 years followed.
Then Ruud Gullit taught us how to win again with his side lifting the 1997 FA Cup. Teams managed by Gianluca Vialli and Jose Mourinho have since taken up the trophy-winning baton.
I love Chelsea. May the 2007/2008 season bring more trophys to the cabinet.Labels: football
