Kings Road was the place to be in the 1960s, and their residents Chelsea Fc were the original fashionable football club. More than forty years after Chelsea conquered Real Madrid in a dramatic European final, Greg Tesser relives the days when he was Britain's youngest football agent. He tells of his first meeting with club vice-chairman Richard Attenborough and how Peter Osgood became a Tv star, thanks to one of the creators of Coronation Street. It was an era of glamour when soccer and showbiz came together for the first time. When the likes of Michael Crawford and Raquel Welch sat in the antiquated Stamford Bridge stands to marvel at the lan and flair of Charlie Cooke and The King of Stamford Bridge himself, the legendary Peter Osgood - even Steve McQueen got in on the act by visiting the changing-rooms before kick-off. Football, fashion and rock and roll - here's what it was really like at Stamford Bridge in those heady times.
