Several catchy club anthems in Europe are hard to forget. The Chelsea anthem is one of them and ranks high.
While Liverpool FC is known for its motivating and captivating ‘You’ll never walk alone’ song released by Gerry and the Pacemakers in 1963, the Chelsea anthem also galvanizes the players to do wonders on the pitch.
The question is, can you claim to be a Chelsea fan if you cannot sing the Chelsea anthem? Memorizing it will increase the allure of the club.
We know that chants and songs play an integral role in uniting supporters and creating a unique atmosphere in stadiums. One such iconic chant that resonates from the Todd Boehly co-owned club is “Blue is the Colour.”

Let us run down memory lane. How did the immortal ‘Blue is the colour’ song come to be?
The Chelsea Anthem took its roots in 1972 when Chelsea booked a date in the League Cup final with Stoke City.
Blue is the colour was a chant, but the Chelsea players, with love and loyalty heaving in their chests, wanted to take it to the realms of immortality by turning it into a record.
The Chelsea Anthem was released as a record by Penny Farthing Records and surprisingly became an instant hit. The song rose to number five on the UK charts following its release.
One would think the success of the song would propel Chelsea to winning the League Cup against Stoke City, who were reaching their first final.
The Potters showed no nerves and handed Chelsea a disappointing 2-1 defeat in the Wembley final.
However, the defeat was just a blip in the enthusiasm of the West London club. The song was infectious, with the melody and lyrics resonating with the Chelsea fans. Many years later, the song can still be heard before and after every game at Stamford Bridge.
The Chelsea anthem serves as a rallying point and a battle cry for the fans. It embodies a passion the fans share.
Chelsea has made several conquests, and the story of the Blues will never be complete without the enduring role the Chelsea anthem played in bringing the players and fans together for a common purpose.
The original recording featured the vocal talents of Chelsea legends such as Ron Harris, Alan Hudson, and Peter Osgood.
Their spirited performances captured the essence of the club, and their voices continue to echo through the stadium, even almost 50 years later.
Such is the enduring power of the song that it has transcended Chelsea's borders and inspired adaptations by other teams worldwide.
