Chelsea FC: The Official Biography - The Definitive Story of the First 100 Years
CHELSEA FC: THE OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY goes to the heart of what gives the club its personality. The author has access to all the key characters, including Mourinho, Abramovich and the star players, plus legendary names of the past. He addresses all the controversies, including: the near suffocation through lack of cash in the 1970s and in 2002; the impact of Abramovich's money; the club and fans' response to racism; how the hooliganism which dogged Chelsea for years has been tackled. On the lighter side, Chelsea is regarded as the country's glamour club, and fashions, good and dreadful, will feature alongside celebrity fans and the worlds of art and music. And then there is the football at the core of it all, creating moments of huge tension and excitement.

Armed for the Match: The Troubles and Trials of the Chelsea Headhunters
Throughout the 70s and early 80s English football hooligans wreaked havoc throughout England and Europe until the authorities decided that enough was enough. Chelsea supporters were targeted, and one man in particular, Steve Hickey Hickmott, was deemed to be public enemy number one and arrested. This explosive story, told in Steves own words, reveals the humour, camaraderie and escapades of life on the terraces and charts his fight for justice in the face of a system heavily biased against him, but where his battle to clear his name was eventually won.

A Serious Case of the Blues: Chelsea in the 80s
The follow-up to the acclaimed and best-selling 'Kings of the King's Road: The Great Chelsea Team of the 60s & 70s', 'A Serious Case of the Blues' goes back in time to the 1980s when Stamford Bridge was a crumbling wreck of a stadium and, at times, the old ground had a team to match. And yet, despite financial crisis after financial crisis and the threat of property developers moving in, relegation to the Second Division and hooliganism on the crumbling terraces, it is an era still fondly remembered by Chelsea fans and one from which true blue heroes like Kerry Dixon and Pat Nevin still emerged. In 'A Serious Case of the Blues' Clive Batty has tracked down the players - from Kerry Dixon to Micky Droy, David Speedie to Pat Nevin - and fans who remember with affection a troubled era, and the result is a colourful trip down memory lane. The 80s may only have been 30 or so years before Abramovich's modern day Chelsea, but it feels like a million.

Chelsea Home Shirt 2009/10
Built with victory in mind: A Modern move: Last season's polo collar makes way for a streamlined neckline. Blue rubber piping printed with 'Chelsea FC' Extends from the centre of the neckline to mid-chest.
Body Armour: The different textured panels add 3D definition to the shirt, making it look like the body armour for the blue and White Army.
Three Stripes: The trademark adidas three stripes feature on the shoulders and sleeves. New for this year is the interrupted pattern stopping at the edge of the shoulder and restarting at the ends of the sleeves.
Climacool: Climacool actively conducts heat & sweat away from the body through a combination of heat and moisture-dissipating materials, ventilation channels and three-dimensional fabrics that allow air to circulate close to the skin.
