Stamford Chidge talks to Clive Batty, author of 'Kings of the Kings Road' and 'A Serious Case of the Blues' about his new book - 'The Top 10 of Everything Chelsea'.

Brimming with Blues trivia, facts and stats, The Top Ten of Everything Chelsea covers every aspect of the club's long and colourful history in dozens of ranked lists. A star cast features the best of the British, European and South American players who have worn the blue shirt with pride, the great managers who have led the club to silverware and the inspirational skippers, from Ron 'Chopper' Harris to John Terry. The book revisits the club's greatest triumphs, its most cherished London derby wins, the biggest thrashings handed out by the Blues, the finest goals scored by the likes of Drogba, Lampard and Zola, and the most gratefully received own goals gifted by the opposition. There's also a host of miscellaneous categories ranking the club's best (and worst!) kits, the most popular terrace chants, the most striking Chelsea player tattoos and the most bizarre moments on and off the pitch. Fun, informative, witty and thought-provoking, The Top Ten of Everything Chelsea is guaranteed to spark lively debate among Blues fans everywhere.

Clive Batty is the author of over 20 football books, including Kings of the King's Road: The Great Chelsea Team of the 60s and 70s, A Serious Case of the Blues: Chelsea in the 80s, The Pocket Book of Chelsea and The Chelsea Miscellany.
