Give this book to any Chelsea fan so they’ll feel like they’ve won the Champions League – all over again
Chelsea FC gifts for men make ideal gifts. Any true-blue fan will love this book. It’s part of our football club random history collection – and it’s an unofficial guide – so no varnishing, no retelling of the history of Chelsea: it’s full of the fun and fantastic life of Chelsea football Club.
When you think of football Chelsea are right at the top of mind. From A-Z – from Ancelotti to Zola – we reveal the revelry and the rivalries, the heroes and the heartache – plus the shocking secrets and the scintillating play. It’s a random romp through Chelsea’s history with facts and figures, trivia and anecdotes from all the greats including Cech and Carney, Wise and Wilkins plus Leboeuf and Lampard.
Over 150 colour pages chocker-block with Chelsea’s colourful characters
… like when scything side-tackler Chopper Harris’s only red card was rescinded after a witness statement from a vicar
.… the player who was also a national champion at triple jump plus the 100- and 800-metres?
… the legend who said “You can call me anything, but don’t call me late for dinner.”?
From the bizarre to the bamboozling, you’ll find answers these Chelsea FC questions:
Who scored nine goals in one game and then joined Chelsea?
Which player starred with Eddie Redmayne in the Oscar-winning The Theory of Everything?
Which Chelsea player scored 14 goals in 8 appearances for England and is commemorated with the club’s weathervane?
Why was the stadium also used for athletics, speedway, greyhound racing and the World Championship in the violent Scottish sport of Shinty?
If you’re searching for Chelsea FC gifts for boys or Chelsea FC gifts for girls, then look no further. Updated in the 2022/23 season, this book celebrates the troughs and the triumphs, the weird and the wonderful, like the fact that it’s ironic that Chopper Harris was phonetically from Hack knee. So whoever you give this book to, they’ll be the No.1 blues fan and forever grateful to you.
