Butchers Hook Pub T-Shirt - Founded on Football History
Product Description:

The striking design on the back features a unique, stylized "Butcher's Hook" emblem, encircled by the pub's name and "CHELSEA" at the base, rendered in a vintage, distressed look.
The Story Behind the Shirt:
The Butcher's Hook is more than just a pub; it's a cornerstone of sporting history. Located on the Fulham Road, right across from what is now Stamford Bridge stadium, it was here in 1905 that a group of individuals met and made a momentous decision. Gus Mears, a businessman and the owner of the Stamford Bridge athletic ground, was looking for a new venture after a failed attempt to get Fulham F.C. to move into the stadium.
On March 10, 1905, Mears and his associates held a meeting in an upstairs room of the Butcher's Hook. After considering several names, including Stamford Bridge F.C. and London F.C., the name "Chelsea Football Club" was proposed and adopted, inspired by the nearby borough. The club was officially founded, and the rest, as they say, is history. The Butcher's Hook became the birthplace of one of the world's most famous football clubs, forever cementing its place in the annals of London lore.
Perfect for:
Chelsea F.C. fans and football history enthusiasts.
Anyone who loves unique London-themed apparel.
A memorable gift for a friend or family member with a connection to Chelsea or the Butcher's Hook pub.
Show your support for the Blues and honor the humble beginnings of a football giant with this one-of-a-kind t-shirt.
