Synopsis
Rhapsody in Blue is a joyous celebration of growing up in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when football and popular culture collided to create a way of life that has long since disappeared.
Set against the backdrop of post-1966 World Cup England, this nostalgic memoir recalls a time of smoke-filled pubs, endless games of street football, packed terraces and unwavering loyalty to your local club. For Neil Fitzsimon, that meant falling hopelessly in love with Chelsea FC and making regular pilgrimages to Stamford Bridge to watch heroes such as Peter Osgood, Charlie Cooke, Alan Hudson, Ian Hutchinson and Peter Houseman light up the pitch.
- Captures the atmosphere of supporting Chelsea FC during one of the club's most colourful eras
- Relives the stars, matches and memorable moments that defined Stamford Bridge in the late 1960s and early 1970s
- Explores the culture of street football and the fiercely contested games played between local neighbourhood teams
- Evokes a lost era before live television football dominated the game
- Combines football nostalgia, social history and personal memoir in a warm and engaging narrative
- A must-read for Chelsea supporters and anyone who remembers football's golden age
Rhapsody in Blue is a moving and affectionate tribute to a vanished world of football, friendship and community. Rich in nostalgia and packed with evocative detail, it perfectly captures what it was like to grow up with football at the centre of everyday life.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 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. It was a time when football and pop culture merged - an era of smoke-filled pubs, when Fray Bentos pies and fry-ups were consumed without guilt and parents had no fear of letting their kids stay out after dark. It was also a time without live TV football, when being a fan meant traipsing through the turnstiles every week. The book vividly recalls how a boy fell in love with Chelsea Football Club, cheering the Blues on week after week, while at the same time becoming immersed in the culture of street football. Neil Fitzsimon skilfully transports us to the Stamford Bridge of his youth, when the likes of Ian Hutchinson and Peter Houseman lit up the pitch. Away from the terraces, he played in his own street team in bitterly contested games against rival street sides. Rhapsody in Blue is a moving and nostalgic tribute to a lost era and way of life. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR010552353
