Chelsea fans hit out at Ted Lasso and Todd Boehly over 'disrespectful' banner

Supporters of Chelsea have slammed owner Todd Boehly and those involved in the making of hit TV series Ted Lasso after a banner aimed at a Blues legend was altered in an episode of the show.

In a recent episode, one of the main characters - Roy Kent - returns to Stamford Bridge and is honoured by the fans as he is seen as a Chelsea legend in the show. A banner which reads 'They Don't Make Them Like Roy Anymore' is unveiled at the Stadium, a spin-off to the current tribute on display at Stamford Bridge in honour of the late Ray Wilkins.

Wilkins passed away in 2018 after suffering a cardiac arrest, and a banner was unveiled in reference to Frank Lampard's phrase 'They don't make them like Ray anymore'. The alteration of the banner has outraged Chelsea fans, who find the alteration extremely disrespectful.
