March 14, 1905 Chelsea Football Club was established
On 120 years ago today, March 14, 1905 (February 9, 1905 in the lunar calendar), Chelsea Football Club was founded. In the autumn of 1904, an avid sports fan, Henry Angus-Mills, saw that there were no top-flight teams in London, bought Stamford Bridge Stadium and planned to recruit teams. Found the existing Fulham team and hoped that they would stay at Stamford Bridge, but the price of the rental venue had not been negotiated. On March 14, 1905, in the Butcher's Hook pub across from Stamford Bridge Stadium, Mills and his partners held a meeting and decided to form a new football club. At first, people expressed their opinions on the name of the club, and proposals such as "Stamford Bridge Football Club","Kensington Club","London Club" and other proposals were rejected. Finally, the name of "Chelsea Football Club" was adopted, a century-long story that has begun. In 1905, Chelsea Football Club was established, and John Tate Robertson became the first manager in the history of Chelsea Football Club and was also the main force of the team. The club has also signed contracts with some well-known players, and the team has begun to take shape. On September 2, 1905, Chelsea played their first game since the club was established. They lost 0 - 1 away to Stoke Harbor. However, Chelsea's subsequent development was very smooth, and after the second season, they were promoted to the top flight.
