The Famous CFC

Ingledew has been on Chelsea’s roller coaster ride for half a century. He has lived, breathed and photographed every step of the way, his unique pictures providing a personal insight into the club’s rich history.

This collection of photographs run from the 1980s days of despair when the club were just two places, and two points, from relegation to the old Third Division to the period of unparalleled success, when Blues supporters were spoiled by a never ending conveyor belt of the big name, big money, stars that come with it.

Ingledew’s pictures reflect life on the terraces during that era, capturing the fashion and style of 80s skinheads and casuals, and the then rudimentary facilities at Stamford Bridge.
