Author Biography
Clayton Beerman is relatively new to the writing game, but a couple of years ago he caught the bug. An article here and there, and then some podcasts -- and now a book. He first went to Chelsea in 1968 although he had already seen them live in 1967 at a ground in north London where a team in white play. He was taken by his Uncle who tried and failed to get him to support that team. Clayton's had a season ticket at Stamford Bridge for more years than he cares to remember but cherishes the memories and friendships that have formed from his love of the Blues.
