EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph by Barratts, Chelsea Football Club's manager, Ted Drake, bids farewell to London as the team sets off on their end-of-season European tour in the 1950s. The image captures a moment of excitement and anticipation as the team embarks on international travels, marking the beginning of their adventures abroad. The scene takes place at Victoria Station, a bustling hub of activity and transportation in the heart of London. The team, dressed in their iconic blue shirts and shorts, can be seen gathered around the train, their suitcases and equipment piled high on the platform. Drake, wearing a smart suit and holding a pipe, waves from the window of the train carriage with a confident and determined expression. The European tour was an important part of Chelsea's history, allowing the team to test their skills against some of the best teams from across the continent. These tours helped to build the reputation of the club and solidify its place among the elite football teams of Europe. The photograph also serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when travel was more of an adventure and the journey was just as important as the destination. The team's departure from Victoria Station marks the beginning of a new chapter in Chelsea's history, one filled with challenges, triumphs, and memories that would last a lifetime. This image is a valuable piece of Chelsea Football Club's history, capturing a moment in time that has been preserved for generations to come. It serves as a reminder of the passion, dedication, and spirit that has defined the club since its inception, and continues to inspire fans and players alike to this day.
