I think it was season 1954/55 please see link for all tables and fixtures, that season Chelsea won the 1st Div and played on Christmas Day
Well done the previous answerer for linking with footballsite.co.uk. It is a feal footballing site rather than one with just page after page of dry stats. If you look at the Chelsea results for 1957/58 they beat Portsmouth 7-4 on Christmas day 1957 with one J. Greaves scoring 4 (it was the first time Jimmy Greaves scored a hat-trick). Now thats what I call a Christmas day (unless you support Pompey!). The last time Chelsea played on Christmas Day was a year later when they won 3-0 at Blackburn Rovers but I am not sure if that was the last Christmas Day match in the top flight.
