Blue was the Colour

A Tale of Tarnished Love

A witty, wise and charming take on modern football by Chelsea 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 modern game.

Blue was the Colour is a witty, wise and charming assessment of modern football by Chelsea FC fan Andy Hamilton, one of the country’s leading comedy writers and stand-ups, and a novelist to boot.

Andy grew up in the streets surrounding Stamford Bridge and fell in love with Chelsea and football as a six-year-old taken to his first match by his older brother. That love endured as an obsession until the modern game’s money and machinations took over and left him questioning its, and his, priorities.

Taking as a starting point his first game against Newcastle United and comparing it with a match now between two teams owned by an American – via a Russian – and a Saudi Arabian government arm, the inimitable Hamilton relates how he came to question his passion for his club and football itself.

Blue was the Colour will have fans and readers laughing out loud and nodding in agreement.
