About this title

Synopsis

Hilsdon, Lawton, Bently, Greaves, Trambling, Osgood, Dixon, and Zola—names that send a tingle down the spine of those immersed in Chelsea's tradition and history. Few clubs can lay claim to such a distinguished line of center-forwards. This book portrays these heroes, some high profile and some more supportive but no less influential. We share their experiences as they narrate career highlights and their time at Chelsea. Life after soccer is examined, as many of the players who enjoyed a high profile later found life out of the spotlight difficult to cope with. The reader will enjoy a stroll through history, a behind-the-scenes view from the dressing room, and will savor the nostalgia of Chelsea's history and some of the club's greatest players.
