In this photograph from the 1960s, Chelsea Football Club Manager, Tommy Docherty, is seen deeply engrossed in planning tactics for an upcoming match with an unconventional tool - a Subbuteo table football game. The image, captured at Huxley Lane, Ewell, depicts Docherty (centre) intently studying the miniature football figures and their movements, with a focused expression that speaks volumes about the importance of the moment. Surrounding the manager are his dedicated players, attentively listening to his instructions and analyzing the game as it unfolds on the table. The atmosphere is filled with a palpable sense of anticipation and determination, as the team prepares for their next challenge on the pitch. What makes this photograph even more intriguing is the presence of a group of young boys, gathered around the scene, observing the proceedings with wide-eyed curiosity. Their fascination with the game and the professional football figures in their midst is evident, as they eagerly absorb the knowledge and excitement of the training session. This image not only offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of Chelsea Football Club during the 1960s but also highlights the enduring appeal of football and the unique ways in which coaches and players have used various tools to strategize and prepare for matches. The use of a Subbuteo table football game as a tactical planning tool is a testament to the innovative spirit and resourcefulness of Tommy Docherty and his team, and the lasting impact of their dedication on the sport that continues to captivate millions around the world.
