Chelsea FC Home 1989/1990
Unlike the powerhouse they are today the 80’s were very different for ‘The Blues’. Ken Bates was the chairman and the team was led by manager Bobby Campbell. Chelsea got promoted the year before and managed to get as high as a 5th place. Which is very good for a team who just played in the First Division.

Some of the players you should know who played for Chelsea back then are Graham le Saux, Ken Monkou, Kerry Dixon and Steve Clark.

Kerry Dixon
Chelsea were relegated in 1988, an event which, ironically, rejuvenated his career with the club. He scored 25 league goals as Chelsea returned to the First Division as champions at the first attempt in 1988–89. A year later he scored a further 26, including a final day hat-trick against Millwall. He helped Chelsea finish 5th, their highest league position since 1970. He spent two more seasons with the club and continued to score on a regular basis. Although Chelsea failed to finish higher than mid table in 1991 or 1992. Dixon’s final serious chance of a major trophy with Chelsea came in the 1990–91 season. They went on a good run in the League Cup but lost to Sheffield Wednesday in the semi-finals.

With 193 goals in total to his name, Dixon is Chelsea’s third highest goal scorer of all time, behind only Bobby Tambling and Frank Lampard. He is also tenth in the club’s all-time appearances list. His only honours with the club, however, were the two Second Division championship medals and the Full Members Cup. If you want to see a summary of Chelsea’s season back then, click here.
