Chelsea Football Club wasn’t the original plan when businessman and sports enthusiast Gus Mears acquired an old sports ground in west London that was home to the London Athletic Club.
At that time, professional football had not caught on in London in the same way it had over the previous decades in the midlands and north of England, where the dominant clubs were based. Until Woolwich Arsenal were promoted to the top flight in 1904, there had never even been a club from the capital in the First Division, let alone one that had been crowned champions.
Ted Surely Was Good for Everton
Injury problems had seriously weakened the Everton line-up as they met on the concourse of Lime Street Station in preparation for their tour of London. The date was 13 January 1891. Skipper Andrew Hannah and Alec Brady were unfit following the 1-0 home defeat by Preston North End while the squad was further weakened by the loss of Fred Geary who had been called back to his native Nottinghamshire because of a family bereavement. Hope Robertson, Tom Wylie and Donald McLean replaced them in readiness for their first game which was to be against the Corinthians at the Kennington Oval.
