In the blistering high summer of 2003, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich acquired Chelsea Football Club. It was a sensational event that sent shockwaves reverberating around the global village that is celebrity football in the twenty-first century.
Brian Mears became director of Chelsea FC in 1958 and was appointed chairman in 1969. During his time in charge, the club went from strength to strength, winning the FA Cup in 1970 and the European Cup-Winners' Cup in 1971. Ian Macleay has supported Chelsea since, as a boy, he saw Jimmy Greaves play for the team. Together with Brian Mears, he was the co-author of the acclaimed Chelsea- Football Under the Blue Flag.
