Blue was the Colour by Andy Hamilton
A witty, wise and charming take on modern football by Chelsea fan Andy Hamilton, one of the countrys leading comedy writers and stand-ups, and a novelist to boot. It tells of a childhood growing up in the streets surrounding Stamford Bridge and obsessing over Chelsea before he began to question the modern game."It's brilliant"
-- Adrian Chiles * BBC Radio 5 Live *"Loved the book and just about every single sentiment within."
-- Pat Nevin * former Chelsea player *"Andy Hamilton's recollections and grasp of the vagaries of supporting Chelsea (or any club) and the game over the last six decades are poignant, evocative, sharply assessed and often hilarious."
-- Jon Morris * Backpass magazine *"As you'd expect from someone of his writing talents, Hamilton's reflections here are witty, thought provoking yet balanced - filled with joy and at times sadness, as well as disappointment and regret - a bit like watching your team really."
