Chelsea Football Club will officially turn 120 years old today, having something to celebrate where passion, innovation and footballing greatness are concerned. Since its modest launch on March 10, 1905, from the Rising Sun pub, we’ve seen Chelsea go from strength to strength, impossible to pop our heads above the parapet in terms of success.
An exhibition to celebrate 120 years of our wonderful football club. 💙
From Saturday 22nd to Monday 24 March, we’re heading to @SaatchiGallery in the heart of west London to celebrate our past, present and future.
Entry will be free to all fans. Register your interest now.
