Inter-Cities Fairs Cup 1965 1966 Milan Ac Chelsea
2nd Mars 1966
Milan, San Siro
Playoff
Without
doubt, Chelsea were regarded as London's most glamorous football club
in the bigining of the 1965-66 season, on the verge of realising that
potential foreseen by Gus Mears and Frederick Parker in those long ago
Edwardian days. Disappointingly, the team was never seriously in
contention for the League championship, Liverpool maintaining a
formidable lead from Christmas onwards, and a final sixth place was
considered less than satisfactory. To prevent fixture congestion Chelsea
made the decision not to defend their Football League Cup in view of
qualification for European competition.
