1965

Chelsea Football Club has been good at celebrating special anniversaries. The year 2005 saw us reach the major milestone of the big 100 years-old. What better way was there to mark the centenary than by becoming champions of England for the only the second time in our existence!

Our golden jubilee had been similarly honoured. We won silverware in the 1960s, the 70s, the 90s and at the turn of the new millennium, but 1955 was the year we finished above all other teams in the League for the very first time.

It was also our earliest major trophy. The first five decades had seen us develop into an integral part of sporting life in England's capital city was famous players and a large, often full stadium.

We were popular, but achievements fell a long wasy short of that now enjoyed by Jose Mourinho,s team; the team that began the second 100 years of our history as the best in the land and the biggest football story in the world.
