EDITORS COMMENTS
William Foulke, affectionately known as "Fatty" to Chelsea Football Club fans, is immortalized in this photograph as the legendary goalkeeper who led the team to promotion from the English Football League's Second Division in the 1914-1915 season. The image, captured by renowned photo agency EMPICS, showcases Foulke's unwavering focus and determination as he guards the goalpost. Born in 1887, Foulke joined Chelsea in 1913, bringing with him a wealth of experience from his time at Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United. His arrival at Stamford Bridge proved to be a turning point for the club, which was then struggling in the Second Division. Foulke's impressive performances between the posts were a crucial factor in Chelsea's successful campaign. His agility, reflexes, and commanding presence inspired confidence in his teammates and instilled a sense of belief in the fans that their team could challenge for promotion. The 1914-1915 season saw Chelsea finish in second place, just one point behind Sunderland. Foulke's heroics in goal were instrumental in securing this impressive result, as he kept a remarkable 28 clean sheets in 38 league appearances. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of a true Chelsea legend, whose contributions to the club's history continue to be celebrated. The image serves as a reminder of the passion, dedication, and resilience required to overcome adversity and achieve success on the football field.
