'Disrespectful' Roy Kent Chelsea banner in Ted Lasso slammed as statement released

The Chelsea Supporters' Trust has issued a statement regarding the changes made to a Ray Wilkins banner during a shot of Stamford Bridge in the latest episode of Ted Lasso.

Wilkins' banner, which hangs in the east stand of the ground, reads: "They don't make them like Ray anymore" but was edited for the shot in popular American show Ted Lasso. With the centre of the third season's second episode being a game against Chelsea, the change of Ray to Roy referenced fictional character Roy Kent.

Kent is a man based off of Manchester United icon Roy Keane but the decision to tamper with the Wilkins banner on camera has gone down badly with fans of the club. Although no changes to the real banner have been made supporters have made their feelings of distaste clear on social media.
