A Deeper Shade of Blue charts the tumultuous years of Chelsea Football Club between 1972 and 1977 when the glittering cup-winning side of the early 70s was broken up, and stars such as Peter Osgood and Alan Hudson departed, along with manager Dave Sexton. It was an era that saw Chelsea relegated to the Second Division while massive debts pushed them to the brink of extinction. But the Blues bounced back with the birth of Eddie McCreadie' s brash, young and exciting side, led by the precociously talented Ray ' Butch' Wilkins. McCreadie guided the club back to the First Division only to leave acrimoniously in bizarre circumstances - a golden opportunity spurned by the club' s owners. A Deeper Shade of Blue is the eagerly awaited sequel to Neil Fitzsimon' s Rhapsody in Blue. It reveals how the author made the difficult transition from adolescence to adulthood as a Chelsea supporter during those turbulent times. We discover how the innocence of youth was replaced by the harsh experience of growing up in 1970s England.
Neil Fitzsimon is blessed (or cursed) with an exceptional memory, allowing him to recall the past in vivid detail. He is a published songwriter and also co-wrote the music and book for the award-winning musical Jack Dagger, which was showcased in theatres across London. As an ardent Blues fan, he has written for many Chelsea fanzines. A Deeper Shade of Blue is the eagerly awaited sequel to his first book on Chelsea, Rhapsody in Blue.
