The Chelsea FanCast looks back, season by season, to 50 Years of Chelsea history from 1970 to the present day.Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Mark Meehan and Dayne Whittle to look back at the 1997-98 season.The 1997-98 season was described by Chelsea Historian Rick Glanvill as “turbulently successful” and it is hard to disagree and in Part Two we review from January to the end of the season.In January 1998, Chelsea were 3rd in the league having at one stage reached 2nd and still in the Coca-Cola Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup with everything very much still to play for in the second half of the season.Tradition dictates that the first match in the New Year was the FA Cup 3rd round and Chelsea, the FA Cup holders were pitted against Manchester United, our recent Cup nemesis.

The Chelsea FanCast looks back, season by season, to 50 Years of Chelsea history from 1970 to the present day.Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Mark Meehan and Dayne Whittle to look back at the 1997-98 season.The 1997-98 season was described by Chelsea Historian Rick Glanvill as “turbulently successful” and it is hard to disagree and in Part One we review from pre-season to the end of the year.With the arrivals of Ed De Goey, Gus Poyet, Tore Andre Flo and return of Graeme Le Saux, all of whom were to make a huge impact on Chelsea success, and the supporters were hopeful of a title challenge this season and a defeat on penalties to Man Utd in the Charity Shield did not quell those hopes. But the senior members of the side, Vialli and Hughes, reminded everyone of their experience and class and got Chelsea off to an encouraging start to the season where we were rarely out of the top four. It was the cup competitions where Chelsea thrived though and none more so than the European Cup Winners’ Cup. Slova
