Celebrity fans

For years Chelsea has been associated with a whole range of famous people who have supported the Blues. The height of celebrity fandom came during the the late sixties and early seventies when the style and glamour of the team was matched by those wandering the Kings Road.

Stories of Raquel Welch or Steve McQueen in the dressing room and the VIP areas overflowing were common place, however given the length of the list below it seems those days have returned!

This is a list of celebrities, alive and dead, it is believed support Chelsea. Not all have had their allegiance proved but most have been verified. Ex-players and directors are not included as their support is taken as read! Corrections/additions welcomed.
