Chelsea on course to end 47-year famine

LEEDS boss Terry Venables believes a consistent Chelsea team could finally prove the key to ending 47 years of hurt.

Chelsea remains Venables' first love as they were the club with whom he started his career with an eight-year spell in the 1960s, and it was with great reluctance he eventually had to leave Stamford Bridge.

Venables has looked on since then as a club with so much potential has failed to live up to their status, other than the odd trophy to adorn the silverware cabinet in recent years.
