Condition of this original football shirt is 8/10 - Excellent. One line pull & a few tiny bobbles on the lower front (see photos).

Chelsea started the season well and stood second after 19 games, but went into freefall after that, going 12 matches without a win, a run that pulled Chelsea down to 12th, replacing hopes of a title challenge with relegation fears. Manager Ian Porterfield paid for the team's poor form by becoming the first manager to be sacked in the new Premier League on February 15.

He was replaced by David Webb, the scorer of the Chelsea winner that won the 1970 FA Cup Final. Webb managed to steer Chelsea to safety, but his contract was not renewed by the board. Instead, they appointed former Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle, who had just taken Swindon Town to their first ever top-flight campaign, as player-manager.

The club ended the season with 56 points, having won 14, drawn 14 and lost 14 matches. By finishing 11th of 22 clubs, it was Chelsea's first top-half finish since coming 5th in 1989-90. With 54 goals conceded, this was Chelsea's best defence in the top flight, a record broken next season as well.

Chelsea went out in the third round of the FA Cup this season, beaten 2-1 by Middlesbrough away at Ayresome Park.
