In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the 1950s, Chelsea manager Ted Drake (centre) is deep in conversation with trainer Jack Oxberry (left) and scout Tom Robinson (right), as they meticulously assess the fitness and form of Chelsea Football Club's players during a pre-season training session at Stamford Bridge. The trio's focused expressions and intensive body language convey the importance of their task. Drake, a former England international and Chelsea player, was in his second spell as manager, having previously led the team to the FA Cup in 1955. With the new season fast approaching, he was determined to ensure his squad was in peak condition. Oxberry, a highly respected figure in the game, was responsible for the physical wellbeing of the players. His keen eye and expertise in fitness training were invaluable to Drake as they prepared the team for the rigours of the upcoming campaign. Robinson, meanwhile, was a diligent scout who had spent countless hours scouring the country for promising young talent. His insight and knowledge of the game were essential in identifying new recruits who could strengthen the squad. The trio's unwavering dedication and professionalism were emblematic of the ethos that permeated Chelsea Football Club during this era. This historic image offers a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of football management and the meticulous preparations that went into ensuring the team's success on the pitch. Barratts Historic Images captures this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the rich history of Chelsea Football Club.
