EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a memorable moment from the fiery rivalry between Hayes Football Club and Chelsea Football Club in the 1950s. The image features Stan Willemse, a prominent figure in Chelsea's history, during a heated half-time break at a match against Hayes. Stan Willemse, a Dutch striker, joined Chelsea in 1950 and quickly became a fan favorite for his aggressive playing style and goal-scoring abilities. However, his tenure at Stamford Bridge was not without controversy. Willemse was known for his fiery temper and often found himself in the midst of heated exchanges with opposing players and fans. During this particular match against Hayes, tensions boiled over at half-time. The photograph shows Willemse, with a determined look on his face, sucking on a lemon as he stands on the sidelines. The sour expression on his face and the intensity in his gaze suggest that he was focusing all of his energy on the second half of the game. The lemon, a common method used by athletes to help with cramps and to refresh the palate, became a symbol of Willemse's determination and competitive spirit. The image has since become a cherished piece of Chelsea Football Club history, representing the passion and intensity that defined the club during the 1950s. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographers S&G, captures a moment in time that encapsulates the spirit of football in the 1950s and the enduring rivalry between Hayes and Chelsea Football Clubs.
