I remember the season 1954/5. One I got married and two Chelsea won the
Championship.
The moment to remember, the one that had been awaited by many for 50years,
came in the minute hand on the clock showed five minutes to five. At that precise
point news came through from Cardiff that Portsmouth had lost and Chelsea were
Champions.
Well how have Chelsea done it?. Mostly by their team spirit, fitness and direct play.
In the last 16 matches they cllected 24 points and the final points of 52 was the lowest
since the league started.After the final game people ran on to the dog track and collected
in front of the East Stand . The team came out and Ted Drake and Roy Bentley gave
Championship.

One of the players Stan Willemse still say that winning the Championship the board offered
the players £20 or a West End Tailored Suit.
