Pat Nevin signed for Chelsea in 1983, distinguishing himself with his passion for culture. He garnered the nickname 'Weirdo' but embraced it, asserting that football is relatively meritocratic. In his first season, Nevin scored 14 goals, helping Chelsea achieve promotion as Second Division champions and was named Player of the Year. Nevin recently reunited with former teammates, reflecting on the camaraderie formed during his career, despite past tensions between some players.
When Nevin crossed the border to join Chelsea from Clyde for a fee of 95,000 in the summer of 1983, was his love of culture ever held against him? I’d say so, but not as often as you’d think, he tells FourFourTwo.
Nevin quickly settled in at Stamford Bridge, netting 14 goals in his first season as the Blues won promotion as Second Division champions.
Football is as near to a meritocracy as there is. Nevin won Chelsea's Player of the Year in his first season at Stamford Bridge.
Every player came except one. It could only be described as magical.
