About Chelsea FC

I'm follower of CHELSEA FC. You can find the details about the Chelsea Football club here .....

TEAM HISTORY - INTRODUCTION:

·         Chelsea Football Club established on May 29th 1905. The year 2005 saw us reach the major milestone of 100 years-old.

·         The first club ever to make the Premier League without having kicked a ball

·         July 2nd 2003, Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea (Just 36 years-old, Abramovich was a Russian billionaire almost unknown in England at the time.)

·         A Carling Cup victory with the team from Anfield again the opponents, ensured 2004-5 was our most successful season ever. It truly was the perfect way to celebrate Chelsea's first 100 years.

·         Chelsea became the first London club to win back-to-back championships since the 1930s. Frank Lampard, voted second best player in the world during the season, netted a remarkable 20 goals from midfield and broke the Premier League record for consecutive appearances.

·         In the summer of 2006, goodbyes were said to stars of the trophy wins, Eidur Gudjohnsen, William Gallas and Damien Duff especially.

·         2006 The Champions League ended at the semi-finals at Anfield (again) but the Carling Cup was won against Arsenal in Cardiff and then the FA Cup against champions Man United at Wembley, making Chelsea the last lift the trophy at the famous old stadium and the first at the shiny new one.

·         Chelsea FC plc is the company which owns Chelsea Football Club. The ultimate parent company of Chelsea FC plc is Fordstam Limited and the ultimate controlling party of Fordstam Limited is Roman Abramovich.
