History
Chelsea Football Club are an English
footballclub based in West London. Founded
in 1905.
Chelsea were founded on 10 March 1905 at
The Rising Sun pub (now The Butcher's
Hook),
and were elected to the Football League
shortly afterwards.
The first Chelsea team in September 1905
The club's early years saw little success; the
closest they came to winning a major trophy
was reaching the 1915 FA Cup Final, where
they lost to Sheffield United.

Chelsea won the FA Cup in 1970, beating
Leeds United 2–1 in a final replay.
The late 1970s through to the 1980s was a
turbulent period for Chelsea. An ambitious
redevelopment of Stamford Bridge
threatened the financial stability of the club,
star players were sold.
In June 2003, Bates sold Chelsea to Russian
billionaire Roman Abramovich for £140
million, completing what was then the
biggest-ever sale of an English football club.
Over £100 million was spent on new players
for just one season.
He is estimated to have spent about $1
billion (USD) on players since his takeover in
2003
