Rare to see a video talking about my club - and what a video it was. Fantastic channel, and informative even for someone who knew quite a chunk about Fulham's history already.
@@RouteNone My aunt (brought up in Fulham, not far from Fulham Broadway) researched our family tree and discovered that one of our ancestors was one of four parties who sold land to the Mears brothers - land on which the Stamford Bridge ground was built. I think your research has been brilliant. Did you discover the names of the sellers of the land to the Mears brothers?
@mikeroyce8926 Thanks you! Most sources that I found make no reference to the ownership of Stamford Bridge prior to the Mears ownership, however this article from 2011 claims the freehold of Stamford Bridge was owned by a John Stunt, who had acquired Stamford bridge from James and William Waddell. According to the article, the Freehold to Stamford bridge was sold by John Stunt's sons to the Mears brothers, after his death. backpagefootball.com/the-incredible-story-of-chelsea%E2%80%99s-106-year-stay-at-stamford-bridge/27640/ Another blog post from 2009 seems to match up with these events: www.theshedend.com/topic/12023-1-twenty-eight-years-bc-1877-1905/ Hope this is useful!
Stamford Bridge, in York, was the site of a famous battle in 1066 where England's newly-crowned King Harold Godwinson and his army defeated the invading Viking army of Harold Hardrada. The battle is famous because it marked the end of three centuries of Viking raids into England and because King Harold had to return south immediately after the battle to fight against the invading Duke William of Normandy at the more famous Battle of Hastings.
Yep and there is a folk tale about how there was one Danish viking who was blocking the English from crossing the bridge. I found this quite funny as I found this out when Chelsea won the champions league and Christensen was having a standout season. Felt very much like history was repeating itself there
@@joshbrown2217 To add to that, the viking was so effective at defending the bridge that the English had to send a man in a barrel to stab the viking from underneath the bridge.
@@joshbrown2217The invaders stopped in 1066 were Norwegian and not danish though. King Harald Hardråde (often translated as harsh ruler), was king of Norway, and his army mostly consisted of veterans from the Varangian guard and Norwegian Levy's. The big viking on the bridge was most likely Norwegian. Just like Rollo, the ancestor of the Norman's, most likely was from around Aalesund in Norway. Although because of the danification of Norwegian history during our time of being ruled from Denmark through a personal union of the crowns, the Danes have claimed a lot of things that are known to be Norwegian, as danish. Maybe that's where the confusion comes from.
Grew up half a mile from Craven Cottage in the days of Johnny Haynes….supported Chelsea just to be different as everyone around me were big Fulham fans. I must admit, I’ve always hated the Chelsea/ Fulham derby games as I’m secretly conflicted having so many friends and family being Fulham fans.
As a cottager myself ive always walked from west brompton about 20min walk with the lime bikes now its a 5min breeze ! Proud to be the oldest club in london ! Fun fact: the ghosts of fore founders and fans still roam the johnny haynes stands till this day
videos like this one about stuff from like the 1900s are videos I really love, every time I see a notification that you've uploaded I'm excited to watch whatever random football stuff you have for me today
W vid. Stamford bridge is also in the north of england, where there was a battle for the english throne in 1066 (looks like i actually learned something from year 5 history)
There is a story about the daughter if Earl Spencer wanting to go to a Chelsea match. She booked a cab from the family estate in Northamptonshire, the driver put Stamford Bridge into the satnav, and the satnav took them to the small town in North Yorkshire.
@ranvirsharma7095 Poor Harold Godwinson. In any other year his victory at Stamford Bridge would have been a Gigachad moment of legend but he only got to bask in his glory for about two weeks before getting wrecked by William the Conqueror on the other end of the country.
Fascinating! Speaking from Carlisle…..I get really interested in London football. The location and identity of fans and club loyalty is really interesting
Got this video on an autoplay. I checked to see how many subscribers the channel had thinking it would have 1M+... I was shocked. Great work quality video!
All jokes aside and no meme intended. Cool story...bro. Just happened to stumble onto this video while looking at a weekend preview of the Prem. Just an American guy, trying to learn about stuff he watches on TV. That Abramovich quip at the end was so timely!! Kudos sir!! Kudos!! 🤣😂🤣😂
another quality video, glad to have seen this channel go from 71 subscribers to 18.5k now, will hope to see 100k soon! "we will watch your career with great interest" - emperor palpatine
I stayed in Earls Court a couple of years ago and walked around West Brompton Cemetery when I had some free time. The eeriest thing was realising I was so close to Stamford Bridge.
I write this looking directly at it so I can promise you; it’s definitely faster to just walk across Trent Bridge to get between the City Ground and Meadow Lane than it is to swim. The real funny thing about our clubs is that the ‘city’ ground isn’t in the city and ‘county’ don’t play in the county.
I've just now subscribed after watching this video. Other than the research needed to make this video, I'm impressed by the graphics and animations-very simple, and yet so elegant, and informative, of course. And add to that a pinch of dry humor-what's not to like? Keep this up, and your channel will grow in no time!
man this is high quality, reminds me of the tifo days of old. surely do some stuff on nott'm forest. 4th oldest english club there has to be something useful.
I'm born & raised in east London & I've never been to that side of London except once to watch a Chelsea game. I've never walked around or explored that part of London. It's crazy as I'm sitting here watching this.
That Roman Abramovich cameo got me 😂
Yep. Abramovich was an underrated coach.
Chelsea did win more trophies than Fulham before Roman A. took over
@@Meedster08 Fulham never won a trophy so that's pretty much the case with every team that won at least one
@@AlanFormula12022He was the owner. Not the manager
Bruh that had me dying 😂😂😂
yet another certified banger, love how chelsea still keeps the tradition of having an owner with no football experience building a team
And thank you again for stopping by and watching!
The difference is that Roman Abramovich actually and actively enjoys watching football, which cannot be more foreign to Boehly and Co.
The poor chap keeps asking himself “where’s the touch down?”
and yet they keep defying odds and fill their trophy cabinet year after year. A game which was dominated by the big 3 rich clubs of england soon became more diverse and chelsea paved the way for every club to dream,compete and win
@@RouteNoneimagine also if King Power Stadium is located at Coventry instead of Leicester?

5:14 He really pulled the "My name is Gustavo, but you can call me Gus" card.
Probably the best thing to happen to me in 2024 was finding this channel. Love the vids, keep up the great work!
That's sad

Hope this is exaggeration bro
your life is shit
i think the humour you sprinkle in here is what sets you apart from the other channels with similar setups, makes it feel way more humans, way nicer
That and his soothing and enjoyable voice
Next time you visit Craven Cottage, get your pint at The Rocket, just across Putney Bridge. It's an inexpensive 'Spoons.
I've been to The Rocket a few times, a fine Spoons indeed! Much more cost efficient for sure

Dukes Head for me. Always drank there when I lived in Putney, just across the river from CC.

For the premier league fans outside of England, this channel provides good information about the history of the clubs.
11:04 We won it one time, WE WON IT ONE TIME!!!! The Intertoto, we won it one time!!!
Title should be “Why do Chelsea play like Fulham?”😭😭
Bit harsh on Fulham that
That's a Insult to Fulham... 😢
Nah its more like a compliment since how much chelsea spent😂
Ha! Nice one.
Unfunny
6:33 crazy how those two rail lines are now part of the reason Chelsea are having trouble renovating Stamford Bridge lol.
11:18 The best part of the video!
I'd say 3:18
This channel is a hidden gem 💎 . Only gonna get bigger. Great work
Glad you think so! Thanks for stopping by and watching

This channel is the next big thing on FootballTube. Mark my words
Henry Norris...the Charles Tyson Yerkes of early 20th Century football. London certainly attracted all sorts of scoundrels during that time!
Do I sense a fellow Jago Hazzard viewer??
@@williamlekstakaj5892 I was wondering how long it would take for someone to pick up on that one!
Mate don't be shocked your growing so fast because the quality of the videos is consistently super high. Keep it up.
Bro this guy is awesome its literally football content that is actually interesting
So one architect is responsible to the classic look of prem stadiums. Class
