EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in Chelsea Football Club's history during the 1960s. At the center of the image is Dave Sexton, a man whose tenure as manager would leave an indelible mark on the team's legacy. Sexton, dressed in a smart suit and tie, exudes an air of confidence and determination as he addresses the assembled crowd of journalists and photographers. The scene takes place at a soccer photocall, an event where managers and players pose for photographs to promote their team and upcoming matches. The Division One status of Chelsea Football Club during this era signified their place among the elite teams in English football. Sexton's appointment as manager in 1961 marked the beginning of a new chapter for the club, which had struggled in the post-war years. Under Sexton's guidance, Chelsea experienced a resurgence, with the team finishing as runners-up in the First Division in the 1964-65 season. Sexton's innovative tactics and astute player management helped to transform the fortunes of the club, paving the way for future successes. This historic image, captured by Barratts, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of football management during the 1960s. The black-and-white photograph, with its sharp contrasts and intricate details, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness an important moment in Chelsea Football Club's storied history.
