How did Chelsea FC get its name

Chelsea Football Club, commonly known as Chelsea, is an English professional football club based in Fulham, London. The club was founded in 1905 by Gus Mears and Joseph Mears. Originally named London Football Club, the club was renamed to Chelsea Football Club in 1907.

There are two theories about the origin of the name "Chelsea". The first theory suggests that the name was inspired by the nearby Royal Chelsea Hospital, which is a retirement home for former soldiers. The second theory claims that the name was chosen because it was the name of a popular music hall song at the time.

Regardless of the origin of the name, Chelsea Football Club has become one of the most successful clubs in English football history. The club has won a total of 21 major trophies, including six league titles, eight FA Cups, and one UEFA Champions League title.
