Brigitte Bardot At Her Peak

There was a time when Brigitte Bardot was thought to be the most beautiful woman on the planet. The actress left a spell on viewers and made the most out of her performances. She was probably one of the most popular women on Earth back in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Sadly, her fame has made it impossible for her to enjoy any semblance of anonymity. “I don’t know what it means to sit quietly in a bistro, on a terrace, or in the theatre without being approached by someone,” she once told The Guardian.

Arsenal Goalie Jack Kelsey On A Very Foggy Day

Taken in 1954, this photo shows Jack Kelsey of Arsenal staring into the fog. The photo below is typically misattributed as having come from a viral story dating back to Christmas Day of 1937. According to this story, a game between Chelsea and Stamford Ridge was played on a very foggy day. The game was called only 61 minutes into it, but no one informed the goalie of Stamford Bridge about it.

He said, “I paced up and down my goal-line, happy in the knowledge that Chelsea were being pinned in their own half. ‘The boys must be giving the Pensioners the hammer,’ I thought smugly, as I stamped my feet for warmth… After a long time a figure loomed out of the curtain of fog in front of me. It was a policeman, and he gaped at me incredulously. ‘What on earth are you doing here?’ he gasped. ‘The game was stopped a quarter of an hour ago. The field’s completely empty’. And when I groped my way to the dressing-room, the rest of the Charlton team, already out of the bath and in their civvies, were convulsed with laughter.”
