Excerpt: Joseph Brian Mears (25 April 1931 28 July 2009) was a former chairman of Chelsea Football Club . He was the son of Joe Mears , also a chairman of Chelsea, and grandson of Joseph Mears , co-founder of the club. He was born in Richmond , Surrey , and educated at Malvern College . In 1950 he emigrated to Canada where he began working life in a seed factory. He returned to the United Kingdom shortly afterwards and did his national service as a radio operator in the Royal Air Force . Brian Mears took over as chairman following the death of Len Withey in 1969 and presided over the club's successful period in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the FA Cup and Cup Winners' Cup were won in consecutive years. He remained in the position until 1981, when a boardroom coup d'etat led by Viscount Chelsea saw him removed with the club in a dire position both on and off the pitch, mainly a result of the disastrous attempt to redevelop Stamford Bridge during the 1970s. He sold the club to Ken Bates a year later for a nominal sum of £ 1. He wrote several books on the club. Despite befriending Chelsea director Matthew Harding and chairman Bruce Buck in later years, he never set foot in Stamford Bridge again He had two children, a son Christopher and a daughter Suzan, who married the footballer Steve Wicks . Suzan's son Matthew Wicks was also a footballer. Mears died of a "heart problem" on 28 July 2009.
