EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Chelsea Football Club manager Tommy Docherty and trainer Harry Medhurst are seen deep in conversation at Stamford Bridge, as they prepare for the FA Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur in the 1960s. The image captures the intensity and focus of the duo as they strategize and plan for the biggest match of the season. Tommy Docherty, affectionately known as "Doch" had taken over as Chelsea manager in 1965, leading the team to a third-place finish in his first season. His charismatic personality and innovative tactics quickly endeared him to the fans, and he was determined to bring the FA Cup back to Stamford Bridge for the first time since 1955. Harry Medhurst, a former professional footballer who had made over 300 appearances for Chelsea in the 1930s and 40s, had been with the club since 1953, serving as a trainer under several managers. His extensive knowledge of the game and dedication to the players made him an invaluable member of the Chelsea backroom staff. As Docherty and Medhurst discuss tactics and team selection, the weight of the upcoming final bears down on them. The tension in their faces is palpable, as they know that victory would bring immense pride and glory to the club and its supporters. The photograph is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and teamwork that goes into preparing for a major football match, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of Chelsea Football Club. The FA Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur took place on May 7,1967, and ended in a 2-1 victory for Chelsea, with goals from Peter Osgood and Marvin Hinton securing the trophy for the Blues. Docherty's innovative tactics, combined with the team's determination and spirit, had paid off, and Stamford Bridge was once again the home of FA Cup glory.
