The club's first great hero, though, was George Hilsdon, an east Londoner who was bought from rivals West Ham, where he was just a reserve. Hilsdon scored over 100 goals for Chelsea and played eight times for England. However, his potential was never fully realised as he was poisoned by mustard gas during World War One. A weather vane on top of one of the stands at Stamford Bridge was made in his likeness as a tribute.
