Chelsea were founded in 1905 on the 10th of March. Names such as, London FC, Stamford Bridge FC, and Kensington FC were all considered at the time as there was already a team known as Fulham, but in the end, Chelsea FC was the one that was chosen. Their stadium is called Stamford Bridge and it has been their stadium from the start. It is actually situated in Fulham rather than in Chelsea. In just their second season, they won promotion to the First Division. In their early years they moved back and forth between the First and Second Division. In 1915, they reached the FA Cup Final where they were defeated by Sheffield United in Old Trafford. They reached their highest league finish so far in 1920, when they finished in 3rd place. Chelsea attracted huge crowds and they gained a reputation for making big name signings. However, despite these positives they continued on for a number of years without achieving a huge amount of success.
