EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the esteemed Directors of Chelsea Football Club convene in their Boardroom during the winter of 1938. The room is adorned with dark wood paneling, giving an air of sophistication and tradition. At the back of the image, three distinguished gentlemen stand, each contributing significantly to the club's operations. On the left, we find Mr J.H.Mears, the Vice-Chairman, his presence essential in supporting the club's leadership. Next to him is Mr Jack Budd, a man of great importance whose role within the club is not explicitly stated but is believed to be a key figure in the organization. At the far right, Mr Leslie Knighton holds a quiet yet commanding presence. He is not only the Secretary-Manager but also the man responsible for leading the team on the pitch. His strategic vision and tactical acumen would guide Chelsea Football Club through the trials and triumphs of the 1930s. In the foreground, two more gentlemen take their seats at the head of the table. The Chairman, Colonel C.D. Crisp, presides over the meeting with a stern yet determined expression. His leadership and dedication to the club would prove instrumental in shaping its future. Seated next to Colonel Crisp is Mr C.J. Pratt, whose father had previously held the esteemed position of Chairman. Mr Pratt's connection to the club's history adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing the continuity and tradition that has come to define Chelsea Football Club. Lastly, Mr H.E. Kinton completes the lineup of Directors, his presence a testament to the collective effort required to run a successful football club. The unity and determination of this group of men would pave the way for Chelsea Football Club's continued success in the years to come.
