To celebrate The Blues' second successive Premiership title, this fabulous new book explores Chelsea’s twenty biggest Cult Heroes of all-time: from giant goalkeeper of the early twentieth century 'Fatty' Foulke, who, legend has it, delighted crowds by dangling opposing strikers head down in the mud, through Roy Bentley, Jimmy Greaves, Ron Harris, Peter Osgood, Kerry Dixon, Dennis Wise and modern genius Gianfranco Zola, up to the present day with skipper John Terry.
Chelsea's Cult Heroes relives the glorious and sometimes downright devilish moments which made each player a terrace hero, adored by the masses who swarmed to watch them at the Bridge. The impact of each player on Chelsea's fortunes is discussed at length, while the many stories and anecdotes which led to their rising to cult status are relived in full with numerous exclusive interviews and new revelations thrown in. Hardcover.
