EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capture of a historic moment in Chelsea Football Club's history! This image, taken in August 1981, shows John Neal, the manager of Chelsea Football Club during that time. Neal, who had taken over the managerial role in May 1981, is seen here at a photocall in London, England. Dressed in a smart suit and tie, he exudes confidence and determination as he looks directly into the camera. The background of the photo is filled with the hustle and bustle of the press, as photographers jostle for position to capture the perfect shot of the new manager. The atmosphere is electric, with the anticipation of the upcoming soccer season palpable in the air. John Neal had a significant impact on Chelsea during his tenure, leading the team to a 10th-place finish in the First Division in his first season, which was an improvement from the previous season's disappointing 16th place. He also brought in some key signings, including Kerry Dixon and Pat Nevin, who would go on to become important players for the club. This photo is a reminder of the rich history of Chelsea Football Club and the important role that managers like John Neal have played in shaping its legacy. It's a fascinating glimpse into the past, and a reminder of the passion and excitement that surrounds the beautiful game of soccer.
