"Blue Is the Colour" is a terrace chant associated with Chelsea Football Club. It was performed by players from the Chelsea squad and released in 1972 to coincide with the club's ultimately unsuccessful appearance in that year's League Cup Final against Stoke City. The record was issued by Penny Farthing Records and reached number 5 in the UK Charts and number 8 in Ireland in March 1972.[1] It has become one of the most well-known English football songs.[2]
The song continues to be popular among Chelsea's supporters decades after its release, and it remains the club's signature anthem, played at every home game and any cup finals Chelsea compete in. The song has also been adapted by many other teams in various sports around the world.
