EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing a historic moment in Chelsea Football Club's history as Jimmy Greaves, the legendary striker and club icon, shakes hands with Nottingham Forest captain Bobby McKinlay before their Division One clash in the 1960s. The photograph, taken by renowned sports photographers S&G, beautifully encapsulates the sportsmanship and respect between the two captains as they prepare to lead their teams onto the pitch. Jimmy Greaves, who is seen here wearing the armband as captain for the day, was making his final appearance for Chelsea before moving on to Italy to join AC Milan. Greaves had already made a name for himself as a prolific goalscorer during his time at Stamford Bridge, netting an impressive 121 goals in 186 appearances between 1957 and 1961. Bobby McKinlay, on the other hand, was a formidable opponent and a respected figure in the football world. The Nottingham Forest captain was known for his leadership and tactical acumen, making him a fitting adversary for Greaves in this highly anticipated match. Referee MJS Pickles, who is seen witnessing the historic handshake, adds an extra layer of authenticity to the image. The referee's presence serves as a reminder of the importance of fair play and adhering to the rules, even in the heat of competition. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of football and the enduring spirit of sportsmanship that continues to define the game. It is a moment that will forever be etched in the annals of Chelsea Football Club's history, and a reminder of the legendary careers of two great footballers.
