Great image capturing a pivotal moment in Chelsea Football Club's history as new manager Dave Sexton (left) stands alongside Chairman Charles Pratt (right) on the iconic Stamford Bridge terraces in the 1960s. Sexton, a highly regarded coach with a wealth of experience, took over the reins from Tommy Docherty in 1967, following a successful tenure at QPR. His appointment marked a new era for the Blues, as they looked to build on the foundations laid by previous managers and challenge for honors. Pratt, a key figure in Chelsea's off-field operations, provided the support and resources necessary for Sexton to implement his vision on the pitch. Together, they embarked on a mission to bring success back to Stamford Bridge, with the terraces serving as the backdrop for their determination and ambition. This photograph, taken by Barratts during the 1960s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to Chelsea's rich history. The image encapsulates the excitement and anticipation that surrounded the arrival of a new manager, as well as the enduring passion and commitment of the Chelsea faithful. It serves as a reminder of the club's storied past and the important role that key figures like Sexton and Pratt have played in shaping its future.
