Rebirth of the Blues is the third instalment in Neil Fitzsimon's acclaimed trilogy on Chelsea FC, covering one of the club's most exciting eras - 1977 to 1985. It's also a gripping memoir of growing up in the late 1970s to mid-80s and Fitzsimon's experiences of living through the political unrest of Thatcherite Britain.
Rhapsody in Blue is a joyous celebration of growing up in the late 1960s and early 70s in the aftermath of England's 1966 World Cup victory. Neil Fitzsimon skilfully transports us to the Stamford Bridge of his youth where he fell in love with Chelsea FC. The book also explores the lost culture of street football, with no referee and no rules.
A Deeper Shade of Blue recounts how Chelsea Football Club went from being the cup kings of London to a struggling mid-table Second Division side. It tells of the fall, the rise and then the fall of Eddie McCreadie's Blue and White Army - a golden opportunity that was spurned by the club's owners.
