Chelsea fans stopped from attending Peter Bonetti memorial due to sanctions

Chelsea have been barred from handing out free tickets for a memorial service for club legend Peter Bonetti due to the sanctions imposed on owner Roman Abramovich.

The Russian oligarch was added to the UK government's sanctioned list earlier this month after Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to invade Ukraine, leading to thousands of deaths. Abramovich is alleged to have ties to the Putin regime, something he denies.

Bonetti is one of the greatest goalkeepers in Chelsea's history, spending nearly 20 years of his career at Stamford Bridge. During that time, he won the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Cup Winners' Cup. He was part of the England squad that won the World Cup in 1966.
