The prominent headline '66,000 fans see Chelsea and sigh' on the back of the newspapers held by Alfred Burke and Michael Craig refers to a match that took place on 2 September 1959 at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Manchester United. Richard Attenborough is a lifelong Chelsea fan and Life Vice-President of the club. The inclusion of the report of the 6-3 loss suffered by his team is likely to have been a joke at his expense.
