Chelsea F.C.

        On March 10, 1905 in a pub in London, Chelsea F.C. was created. The founders of the club were Henry Augustus “Gus” Mears, his brother Joseph, their brother-in-law Henry Boyer, publican Alfred Janes and his nephew Edwin. Jacky Robertson was manager of the club, he lead them to the Football League Division Two. Robertson also hired ball boys to go along with their goalkeeper. Their huge new stadium debuted with a 4-0 win against Liverpool on September 1905. The Blues were doing so well that they promoted to first division in 1907. Chelsea wasn’t always wearing the shade of blue they wear today, they wore Eton blue.

Chelsea won against Arsenal, 2-1 on November 9, 1907. Also, on their first encounter versus Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea wins again 2-1.

         The Blues have never moved from the famous stadium at Fulham Road. New star names started to establish themselves at the Bridge, including center-forward George Hilsdon. In just a few years Chelsea F.C. begins to show wealthiness, ambitiousness, fashionability, and immense drawing power.

       This is similar to the eton blue kit, Chelsea used to wear back in 1907.
