Blue was the Colour

by Andy Hamilton

A witty, wise and charming take on modern football by Chelsea FC fan Andy Hamilton, one of the country’s leading comedy writers and stand-ups, and a novelist to boot. It tells of a childhood growing up in the streets surrounding Stamford Bridge and obsessing over Chelsea before he began to question the money and machinations of the modern game.
