1960 - SEASON REVIEW
This was the beginning of a great period for the Club, a "Decade" that became known as the "Camelot Years".
There was no suggestion of any major changes at the Chelsea Football Club when the clock ticked into a new decade. But the availability of affordable land and housing, the existence of a beautiful beach and a homely, country atmosphere inspired an increase in the town’s population as many young families took up residence.
These newcomers brought new energy to the football club as players and family members became involved and the club finally responded to the demands of its president as it started to earn respect from the local football world with improving on-field performances. Whilst season 1960 did not reveal significant signs of what was to come, the ugly duckling of local football was about to transform into a swan.
