#2 Chelsea FC
The owner of the Stamford Bridge athletics stadium, Gus Mears preferred to transform the arena into a football stadium. He approached a London club, Fulham FC and explained his intuition to lease the ground on a long-term basis. Due to the refusal he received, Gus Mears decided to start his own football club. Chelsea was thus born, in 1905.
The name ‘Chelsea FC’ was selected in the same year, after opting out names such as ‘Kensington FC’, ‘Stamford Bridge FC’, and ‘London FC’. Like Liverpool, Chelsea have never moved from their home ground since they were established.
Chelsea, jointly with Arsenal were the first team to play with numbered Jerseys, in 1928.
