In the year 2003, a Russian Billionaire named Roman Abramovich bought a football club based in West London named Chelsea F.C. The club had a decent record in domestic knock-out tournaments, but, they failed to win a league title in 50 years.    

However, then happened something which changed club football forever. Roman Abramovich revolutionized Chelsea F.C. He did everything to ensure that Chelsea F.C. becomes a tier- 1 club.  He bought top class players and brought in top class managers to West London. He did everything to ensure that Chelsea becomes a powerhouse. And Boy ! The players did not disappoint him and the fans. 

In the next 19 years, Chelsea F.C. went on to win every single trophy which a Football Club could have won [5 Premier League Trophies, 5 F.A. Cups, 3 League Cups, 2 Champions League Trophies, 2 Europa League Trophies, Community Shields, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup]

However, in March 2022 Roman Abramovich was forced to sell the club because of the Ukraine-Russia conflict which has resulted in the imposition of sanctions over Russian businessmen in the Western World. 

Today he may not be the owner of Chelsea F.C, but Roman will always be one of us. 

Thank you Roman. Thank you for all the memories.
