Description

"In the 70s, it was Leeds; in the 80s it was Liverpool; and, in the 90s it was Manchester United. Now Chelsea are the team for the millennium. The team that everybody loves to hate, that is." — Observer There are few football clubs in the world that attract as much interest in the modern game as Chelsea. Whether it is the latest observations from coach Carlo Ancelotti, big-money transfer targets, the style of play or results in Europe, everybody thinks they know what’s happening—or at least has an opinion on it. From Ron "Chopper" Harris and Ken Bates through to Ruud Gullit, Roberto Di Matteo, Jose Mourinho, John Terry, Frank Lampard, and Damien Duff, there is no lack of characters to draw on for quotes—and this tiny guide has them all.
