Chelsea Football Club

On the 14th March 1905 at the public house The Rising Sun – today called The Butchers Hook – on Fulham Road, London, businessman Henry Mears along with others formed a football club and named it, Chelsea. Fulham would have been the ideal title; unfortunately this had already been taken. Prior to this in 1904, Mears had purchased Stamford Bridge Athletics Ground with the intentions of having Football Clubs play their games there, in particularly Fulham, whom declined. With this, Mears decided to create his own football club.

 Like countless other clubs, Chelsea attempted to play in the Southern League but with – and no surprise – Fulham and other Clubs objecting they were refused. Friend and colleague of Mears, Fred Parker then applied for Chelsea to play in the Football League. With some good talking and persuasion by Parker to the appropriate individuals Chelsea were acknowledged to the Football League on May 5th 1905.

 Scottish football player and manager John Tait Robertson, was employed as Chelsea Manager and wasted no time in searching for talent for the Club, one of these been the huge 6ft 4”, 22 stone, William “Fatty” Foulke who had already tasted success with Sheffield United, winning the FA Cup.

 Chelsea did not get off to the best of starts, loosing their first game away against Stockport County 1-0 on the 2nd September 1905. Their first home game though had a sweeter result when they beat Liverpool 4-0. For their first season in the Second Division, they did make a decent challenge and managed to finish third.

 In January 1907, Robertson departed for Glossop, a Football Club based in Derbyshire. Behind closed doors, Chelsea’s Board of Directors typically over ruled the Manager on squad setup and players to play; for Robertson and appropriately so that was the role of Manger and his position became untenable. A Mr William Lewis stepped into Robertson’s shoes for a time been. He was Chelsea’s first Club Secretary and started out as a Football Referee. Unexpectedly, Lewis guided Chelsea to promotion at the end of the season, helped by the football gifts and the first player to score 100 goals for the club, George Hilsdon. Lewis was replaced by Chelsea’s longest serving manager, David Calderhead. He served the club for an astonishing 26 years and with such a lengthy spell at Chelsea, there should have been more achievement to his credit. Even his son, David junior spent time at Chelsea as a player while his Father managed. In total Calderhead oversaw Chelsea play in 966 games.

 It wasn’t until 1952 that Chelsea started to have an impact on the game under new manager Ted Drake. Drake was an ex footballer himself, starting his career with Southampton but his time at Arsenal is where he acquired his recognition. Unlike his predecessors, Drake felt more at ease kitted out like a player and not as a manger so it was exceptional to see him in a suit. With the old days gone of the Boards interference, Drake set out to improve the club. Ball work was established in training and instead of looking to the big transfer signings more scouts were sent out to find young hungry talent that would bring quality football gifts to Chelsea. And no longer was the Chelsea Pensioner for this was to be replaced by the lion rampant crest. Fans were urged to get behind the club and team in unison. Patience would be required; for it took until the 1954/55 season for things to start to fall into place and Chelsea were beginning to look and feel like a Football Club with ambition. And they were, winning the League title with a close Wolverhampton Wanderers in second place just 4 points behind. What’s more intriguing is that the majority of the Chelsea squad were considered amateurs with the exception of Roy Bentley. It was difficult for Drake to repeat this accomplishment the following season and Chelsea finished in the bottom half of the table. One Football gift to shine through for the club was top goal scorer and club record holder, scoring 41 goals in a season, Jimmy Greaves but he left for AC Milan in 1961. Without his presence and the balls he once netted, Chelsea drifted down the table meaning it was time for a change and Drake was sacked by the Board.

 There was little new manager Tom Docherty could do to prevent relegation to Division 2. He tried and tested various techniques and in doing so sold many of the now aging players. Luckily, Chelsea had many up and coming talented youth players who were eager to prove themselves along with other football gifts. These included Ron “Chopper” Harris, Bobby Tambling, Peter Bonetti and Terry Venables all at Docherty’s disposal. With now a rebuilt squad of such talent, Chelsea finished in second place in Division 2 and on their last game embarrassed Portsmouth with a 7-0 win. On their first season back to Division 1 they finished fifth in the table and the season that followed won the League Cup. There trophy cabinet had space for more but Chelsea missed out on the FA Cup to Manchester United.

Docherty blew hot and cold and this did cause tension with certain players, especially Terry Venables, one for speaking his mind. Venables later signed to Tottenham Hotspur where by this time his old teammate Jimmy Greaves was. Ironically for Docherty and the club it was Tottenham they played against in the first all London FA Cup final and Chelsea’s first appearance at a Wembley final. Chelsea lost 2-1 and not long after Docherty was sacked.

 Chelsea really turned the corner in the mid 90’s. 1996 saw the football gifts of Holland legend, Ruud Gullit takes over as manager from Glenn Hoddle who decided to try his hand managing England, as it happens with not much success. Gullit had instant triumph in his opening season, winning the FA Cup, their first significant trophy for 26 years and finishing sixth in the League, Chelsea’s best position since 1990. Regrettably, in 1998 Gullit was sacked over a contract disagreement with the board. His replacement was 33-year-old Gianluca Vialli and within a short space of time had won the Club 2 trophies, the League Cup and the Cup Winners Cup. In 2000 Vialli, with a quality squad that consisted of Zola, Ed de Goey, Frank Leboeuf and Poyet, lifted the FA Cup with a win against Aston Villa. Then they beat Manchester United 2-0 to add the Charity Shield. Vialli by now became Chelsea’s most successful manager. Bizarrely, Vialli was also sacked by the club in the same season for what must be due to a bad start, loosing 5 games on the bounce.

 By 2003 Chelsea were financially in trouble with £80 million worth of debt hanging over their head. Unexpectedly, Ken Bates who brought the Club in 1981 for just a pound sold it to Russian billionaire, Roman Abramovich for £60 million, which netted Bates a nice profit. Abramovich, made his masses of wealth through the Russian oil industry, buying it exceptionally cheap then selling it on to international companies.

Now the club had no debts and massive funds to buy players like Joe Cole, Geremi, Glen Johnston to name a few.

 In 2004/05 season, Abramovich employed the outspoken Jose Mourinho to succeed Ranieri’s as manager of Chelsea. Up until his replacement, Ranieri’s had created a number of good results for Chelsea and helped them finish as runners up in the League. It appears somewhat unforgiving the reason he was sacked but changes made to the formation of the squad by Ranieri’s during a semi-final with AC Monaco which Chelsea ultimately lost was enough for Abramovich to have him replaced.

 The 2004/05 season was slow off the marks for Mourinho but gradually gained momentum. In the company of football gifts like Lampard, Cole, Arjen Robben, Ricardo Carvalho and Captain John Terry, Chelsea were beginning to win more and more games. In November, they beat Everton placing them top of the table and never really looked back. The outstanding goalkeeping skills of Petr Cech gave him his own Premiership record of 1025 minutes without a goal scored against him. With two goals from Lampard, the match with Bolton Wanderers was over and so was the title race. It had been a long fifty years since their last League Title. In addition, this gave Chelsea the double with their 2-0 win over Liverpool FC earlier in the year. The Club was heading for the treble in the Champions League. In the semi-final, they met old rivals Liverpool again. This time the scouse club had different ideas and Chelsea couldn’t manage the same result they had previously, loosing 1-0 to a Liverpool squad who defensibly were flawless. The season after saw, Chelsea keep hold of their League title and during a visit to Anfield, they unleashed something special on their hosts, in annihilating them 4-1. Manchester United were close on the heels towards the end of season but Chelsea put that to bed at Stamford Bridge, beating United 3-0. Also becoming the only London Club to win two League Titles in consecutive years. Mourinho’s Chelsea certainly became the team to beat around this time.

 The following 2006/07 season saw Chelsea just have a slight dip in form but not enough to stop them from winning the League Cup, beating Arsenal 2-1. Manchester United were back on top in the League tables but Chelsea, still in super form went on to win the FA Cup again, beating United 1-0 at the new Wembley Stadium.

 By this time, it was common knowledge that Mourinho and Abramovich did not see eye to eye on numerous matters and with Mourinho not one to back down he decided to leave Stamford Bridge in September 2007. This was indeed a sad day for Chelsea Football Club and the millions of fans worldwide. It is widely agreed that Jose Mourinho, whether you love or hate him brought many football gifts to Chelsea and one that will be very difficult to substitute.

 Israeli Avram Grant, replaced Jose Mourinho but the club lacked the success they were accustomed too. He did manage to lead them to the Champions League final but lost out to Manchester United on penalties, subsequently Grant was sacked shortly after.

 It was then, Luiz Felipe Scolari turn, a well-known and respected manger worldwide, who had brought glory to the Brazil national team in the 2002 World Cup. Again, sacked after another short spell on 9th February 2009.

 On the 1st June 2009, Carlo Ancelotti took over from temporary manager Guus Hiddink.  It is still early days but Chelsea’s first match with Ancelotti in charge was for the Community Shield against Manchester United, which ended 2-2. Chelsea went on to win through penalties 4-1. With that, it was Chelsea’s first win taking penalties in over 10 years.

Chapters: Hans Meyer, Miroslav Votava, Eckhard Krautzun, Frank Lieberam, Frank Pagelsdorf, Aleksandar Risti?, Werner Voigt, Georgi Vasilev, Christian Schreier, Karsten Heine, Uwe Neuhaus. Excerpt: Hans Meyer (born 3 November 1942 in Briesen (today near Bílina, Czech Republic) is a German former football player and manager. Meyer is the only coach to win both the DFB-Pokal and the FDGB-Pokal. In 2001, Meyer led second-division club Borussia Mönchengladbach to promotion to the 1. Fußball-Bundesliga, the first East German coach to achieve the feat with a West German side. Meyer next took the reins at Hertha BSC in mid-season in 2003, successfully leading the club through a protracted relegation fight. Following this feat he announced his retirement from coaching, turning down a contract extension with Hertha. Meyer found the thrill of the relegation battle too great to resist, however; he took over at last-place 1. FC Nuremberg in autumn of 2005, leading the squad to an eighth-place finish and firmly establishing his reputation as a “fireman” who could extinguish a team’s crisis. His coaching success continued in the following season which ended with a sixth-place showing for Nuremberg and the capture of the DFB-Pokal. In the 200708 season, Meyer’s luck had run out, and after a series of bruising defeats Nuremberg found itself in the drop zone once again. Meyer was fired by the club management on 11 February 2008. Besides his talent as a trainer, he is famous for ironic and sarcastic answers in interviews. He remains very popular in Jena, where his career started, and in Nuremberg for winning the DFB-Cup. On 18 October 2008 he returned to Borussia Mönchengladbach and retired on 28 May 2009. Meyer was featured on the cover of EA Sports’ video game FUSSB…

Excerpt: Diarmuid Murphy (born 22 August, 1975 in An Daingean, County Kerry) is an Irish sportsperson. He plays Gaelic football with his local club An Daingean and was the goalkeeper on the Kerry senior inter-county team from 2004 until 2009. 2004 saw Jack O’Connor take over as manager of the Kerry team. He wasn’t the only change in personnel, as Murphy replaced Declan O’Keeffe as the first-choice goalkeeper on the team. He was twenty-eight years-old. The year began well with Kerry reaching the final of the National League. An exciting 3-11 to 1-6 victory saw Kerry claim the title and Murphy picked up a first National Football League winners medal. ‘The Kingdom’ subsequently booked their almost annual spot in the provincial final and, for the second year in succession, Limerick were the opponents. Surprisingly, that game ended in a 1-10 apiece draw. The replay was also a close-run affair; however, Kerry never really looked in danger of losing. A 3-10 to 2-9 victory gave Murphy a coveted Munster winners medal. The All-Ireland series proved no difficulty for Kerry, and the Kingdom booked their place in the All-Ireland final against Mayo. An early goal from Alan Dillon gave the Connacht men some hope, however, the game was effectively over after twenty-five minutes when Colm Cooper scored Kerrys only goal of the day. The points kept coming from Murphy’s team and an injury-time Michael Conroy goal was nothing but a consolation for Mayo. A 1-20 to 2-9 victory gave Murphy his first All-Ireland winners medal. Murphy was later presented with his first All-Star award. In 2005 Kerry were hot favourites to retain their All-Ireland title. All was going to plan as Murphy’s side reached yet another provincial final. In a return to tradition, Cork were the opponent… More:

He has been capped 29 times by Northern Ireland and played for 11 teams in both Ireland and England. Born in Derry, Northern Ireland, Jones, an Everton fan, was working at Plumb centre in Oldham when he played for Chadderton. He had been a very promising footballer but at 16 he was still growing and is one of a number of players overlooked at that time by Bury. He was spotted in a tournament by a well connected ex-footballer who passed his feelings over to Blackpool via the scouting network. Jones was thus taken on to the books of Blackpool, and later played for League of Ireland sides Sligo Rovers and Bray Wanderers. He scored on his Sligo debut on 31 August 1997. Jones moved to England to play for Chorley before joing Leigh RMI, where he scored 43 goals in just over 100 games.

The last ever football match played at Ninian Park was a Welsh Schools Cup Semi-Final fixture between Radnor Road Primary school and Corneli Primary School, with Corneli Primary School edging the game after penalties in front of the Grange End.

They were the defending champions having won the title the past seven consecutive seasons. They were entering the season after achieving their first ever double after winning the Coupe de France, along with their league title. Following the season, it was announced by Lyon chairman Jean-Michel Aulas that manager Alain Perrin would not be returning despite being the first Lyon manager to win the double.

French Immigrants to the United Kingdom: Eric Cantona $10.18 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Eric Daniel Pierre Cantona (English pronunciation: ; born 24 May 1966) is a French actor and former footballer. He ended his professional footballing career at Manchester United where he won four Premier League titles in five years, including two League and FA Cup Doubles. Cantona is often regarded as having played a major talismanic role in the revival of Manchester United as a footballing powerhouse and he enjoys iconic status at the club and in English football. In 2001, he was voted as Manchester United’s player of the century and is affectionately nicknamed “King Eric”. He is the current manager of the France beach soccer team. Following his retirement from football, he took up a career in cinema and had a role in the 1998 film Elizabeth, starring Cate Blanchett, and the 2009 Looking for Eric. In 2010, he debuts as a stage actor in Face au paradis, a French play directed by his wife – Rachida Brakni. Although it has been suggested that he was born in Paris, Cantona was actually born in Marseille to Albert Cantona and Eleonore Raurich. The family home was a cave atop one of the hills in the Caillols area of Marseille, between the city’s 11th and 12th arrondissements, and it was rumoured to have been used as a look-out post for the German army towards the end of the Second World War. The site was chosen in the mid-1950s by Cantona’s paternal grandmother, Lucienne, whose husband, Joseph, was a stonemason. By the time Cantona was born in 1966, the hillside cave had become little more than a room in the family’s house, which was now up to a liveable standard. Cantona has two brothers: Jean-Marie, who is four years older; and Joël, who is 17 months younger. Cantona came from a family of immigrants: his paternal grandfather, Joseph, had immigra… More:

He played for Hibernian, Celtic, Monaco, Everton and Fulham in a 19-year career. He started his coaching career with Hibernian, winning the 2007 Scottish League Cup Final, but resigned later that year. He then had a brief spell as manager of Charleroi in 2009.

Excerpt: The 2000 Football League Second Division play-off final was a football match played at Wembley Stadium on 28 May 2000, to determine the third and final team to gain promotion from the Second Division to the First Division of The Football League in the 19992000 season. Gillingham faced Wigan Athletic in one of the last competitive fixtures to be played at the original Wembley Stadium. The match was Gillingham’s second consecutive appearance in the Second Division play-off final after a defeat to Manchester City the previous season. Wigan had been defeated in the semi-finals the previous season and had never previously reached a play-off final. The teams reached the final by defeating Stoke City and Millwall respectively in the semi-finals. Gillingham took the lead in the first half of the final, but Wigan equalised to send the game into extra time. During the extra period Wigan took a 21 lead, but Gillingham scored two goals in the last six minutes through substitutes Steve Butler and Andy Thomson to win 32. Gillingham thus gained promotion to the second tier of English football for the first time in the club’s 107-year history, in what proved to be manager Peter Taylor’s final match in charge. Gillingham had finished the 19992000 Football League season in third place in Division Two, one place ahead of Wigan. Both therefore missed out on the two automatic promotion places and instead took part in the play-offs to determine the third promoted team. On the final day of the league season Gillingham had the opportunity to finish in second place in the table and thereby clinch an automatic promotion place, but a 10 defeat away to Wrexham meant that Burnley were able to overtake them thanks to their 21 win over Scunthorpe United. Wigan had looked… More:
