Throwback Thursday: Chelsea Win the League (April 23rd, 1955)
Following their 3-1 over Leicester City yesterday, Chelsea are on the verge of winning the Premier League title. If they win their home match on Sunday against Crystal Palace, they’ll be crowned Champions of England.
This would be the club’s fifth league title, and their first in five years. All but one of their league titles have come in the Roman Abramovich era, and of those, only one without Jose Mourinho.
Yet while plenty of fans from other clubs like to say that Chelsea has no history, the Blues have in fact won glory in the league without the benefit of Russian billionaires and press conference puppet masters.
This week, we look back at Chelsea’s pre-Abramovic title win—the 1954-55 Football League First Division.
