Shame Chelsea didn’t manage one more goal. Would have set an all-time league record of seven successive wins at the same ground scoring three or more times in each. Instead, matches our own shared record of six at Burnley and between 1960 and 1965 at Arsenal (4-1, 4-1, 3-0, 4-2, 3-1, 3-1)

During the lengthy research for this new book I unearthed something that was quite mind-blowing. I’d long known that pre-Chelsea the freehold to Stamford Bridge was owned by a Mr Stunt. 1/11
