Upfront With Chelsea by Chris Westcott
Hilsdon, Lawton, Bently, Greaves, Trambling, Osgood, Dixon, 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 centre-forwards. You cannot quantify their value in terms of goals, but you always can in terms of spirit. 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 football is examined, as many of the players who enjoyed a high profile later found life out of the spotlight difficult to cope with. Some stories are sad or poignant but many are happy and inspiring. They should appeal to supporters new and old. The reader will enjoy a stroll through history, a behind-the-scenes view from the dressing room and will savour the nostalgia of Chelsea's history and some of the club's greatest players.
