Ken moved to Stamford Bridge from Wycombe Wanderers in August 1973.
He started life out with the Blues as a winger but also played up front and
in midfield during his five years at the club. Swain found himself out of the
side as the Blues struggled in the 1978/79 season and he requested a
transfer, Aston Villa snapping the versatile Scouser up for £100,000.
He is pictured above during Chelsea's 1-0 defeat against Sheffield United.
