Andy grew up in the streets surrounding Stamford Bridge and fell in love with Chelsea and football as a six-year-old taken to his first match by his older brother. That love endured as an obsession until the modern game's money and machinations took over and left him questioning its, and his, priorities.
Taking as a starting point his first game against Newcastle United and comparing it with a match now between two teams owned by an American - via a Russian - and a Saudi Arabian government arm, the inimitable Hamilton relates how he came to question his passion for his club and football itself.
Blue was the Colour will have fans and readers laughing out loud and nodding in agreement.
Reviews / Votes
"It's brilliant." -- Adrian Chiles * BBC Radio 5 Live * "Loved the book and just about every single sentiment within." -- Pat Nevin * former Chelsea player * "Andy Hamilton's recollections and grasp of the vagaries of supporting Chelsea (or any club) and the game over the last six decades are poignant, evocative, sharply assessed and often hilarious." -- Jon Morris * Backpass magazine * "As you'd expect from someone of his writing talents, Hamilton's reflections here are witty, thought provoking yet balanced - filled with joy and at times sadness, as well as disappointment and regret - a bit like watching your team really." * footballbookreviews.com *More details
