Great photo capturing a pivotal moment in Chelsea Football Club's history as they welcome goalkeeping legend, Dave Beasant, to Stamford Bridge in the late 1980s. In this image, new signing Beasant is seen posing with his new manager, Bobby Campbell, following his transfer from Newcastle United. The signing came after Beasant's heroics for Wimbledon in the 1988 FA Cup Final, where he saved a penalty in the shootout to secure the trophy for his previous team. Beasant had left Wimbledon for Newcastle United just five months prior, but the allure of joining one of England's most storied soccer clubs proved too strong to resist. Chelsea paid a then-hefty fee of £725,000 to secure the services of the experienced goalkeeper, who would go on to make over 150 appearances for the Blues. The signing of Beasant was a significant one for Chelsea, who were looking to build a team capable of challenging for major honors. The goalkeeper's arrival marked the beginning of a new era for the club, and his presence between the posts would provide a solid foundation for the team's successes in the years to come. This historic photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Tony Harris, captures the excitement and anticipation surrounding Beasant's arrival at Stamford Bridge. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of key signings in the development of a successful soccer team, and the role that goalkeepers play in shaping the fortunes of a club.
