EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph captured by Matthew Fearn, Dutch striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink stands proudly at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge ground, holding aloft a blue shirt adorned with the number 9. The momentous occasion marked the completion of Hasselbaink's transfer from Spanish La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid, a deal worth a then-record-breaking £15 million. The fee matched the British transfer record set by Newcastle United when they signed Alan Shearer in 1996, making Hasselbaink's arrival a significant milestone in Chelsea's history. The Dutchman's arrival was met with great anticipation, as he was known for his prolific goalscoring ability and dynamic playing style. Hasselbaink's signing was a statement of intent from Chelsea, who were determined to compete at the highest level in the English Premier League. The striker's arrival heralded a new era for the club, and he quickly became a fan favorite, scoring 12 goals in his debut season and helping Chelsea finish third in the league. Over the course of his two-and-a-half-year tenure at Stamford Bridge, Hasselbaink netted an impressive 68 goals in 137 appearances, making him one of the most successful strikers in Chelsea's history. His contributions on the pitch, combined with his infectious enthusiasm and charisma, endeared him to Chelsea fans and cemented his place in the club's annals as a true legend. This photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of a new era at Chelsea Football Club, as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink proudly dons the blue shirt for the first time, ready to lead the team to new heights.
