EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic season of 1954/55, where Chelsea Football Club achieved greatness in the First Division. The image captures the essence of camaraderie and determination as the Chelsea team group gathers before their crucial match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on April 30th, 1955. The significance of this particular game cannot be understated, as it marked the final fixture of Chelsea's triumphant League Championship-winning campaign. With their spirits high and hearts filled with ambition, these players were ready to leave a lasting mark on football history. Standing tall at the back are notable figures such as Jack Oxberry, Stan Willemse, Ken Armstrong, Peter Sillett, Stan Wicks, Chick Thomson, Derek Saunders, and John Harris. Their experience and skill set formed a formidable backbone for Chelsea's success that season. In front of them stand Eric Parsons, John McNichol - both radiating confidence - alongside Roy Bentley who led his teammates with great passion. Mr. E. J Ted Drake proudly stands beside them as manager while Seamus O Connell and Frank Blunstone complete this iconic lineup. This extraordinary photograph is not just an image frozen in time; it represents triumph over adversity and serves as a reminder that hard work pays off. It immortalizes a moment when dreams turned into reality for these talented individuals who etched their names forever in football folklore.
