Fixture Details. The match was a post-season friendly played on 9 May 1954 at Triborough Stadium on Randalls Island in New York, ending in a 3–2 win for Chelsea in front of 18,746 spectators.
Tour Context. It was the opening fixture of Chelsea's eight-match North American tour under manager Ted Drake, just one year before the club won their first English First Division championship.
This programme is rare and it is totally split in the middle, it could be repaired by a paper restorer but we have decided not to, as can be seen little text is missing.  The background of this programme was that this very programme was in our personal collection and recently we acquired a collection with another copy and so this is the one that we had for 20 years in our collection.  It is printed on thin paper, rarely comes up and is an important first team friendly before Chelsea's first ever Championship season.
