Climbing the Chelsea Hill is the gripping story of Ken Shellito,
the first and only Chelsea manager to enter the job after rising
through the ranks at Stamford Bridge. After joining as ground staff
at 15, he turned professional in 1957. He played 123 senior games
as a full-back and won England honours before a knee injury ended
his playing career at age 23. Undeterred, he joined the coaching
staff and became first-team manager of Chelsea after 22 years at
the club. Later, Ken left the UK to coach and manage in his new
home of Malaysia. Sadly, he died there aged 78, in 2018. In this
authorised biography, Ken lays bare all the highs and lows of his
unique footballing journey. His anecdotes - some harrowing, others
hilarious - shine a light on an era when football was all about the
teams, their fans and the camaraderie among players. It paints a
fascinating portrait of how the game was played at the start of
Ken's career and how it evolved into today's commercialised era of
glitz and glamour.
