It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our former player and manager Kenny Jackett.
A true club legend and one of our own, Watford-born Kenny was instrumental in some of our greatest successes as a player before going on to serve as coach and then manager.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Kenny 💛
Good appointment. The guy almost saved a sinking Mallorca in a short time and played intense football. I think they also beat Real Madrid.
RB must have seen a glimpse of a top coach in him, just like when Bayern signed Kompany from relegated Burnley.
I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield.
I’ve always called him ‘Sir Kev’ and it’s hard to think of a man more deserving. He showed us all what it is to be a friend. What it means to step up when people need you and he did it all for his mate ❤️
After he carried Rob across the line in the Leeds marathon someone sent me this poem anonymously and I kept it on my phone. They called it ‘Arise Sir Kev’…
When shadows gathered, and hearts would break
Kev knew it was time to take…
One step, another, through wind and rain,
Carrying hope, despite the pain.
He never stopped, mile after mile,
Driven by loyalty, strength… a smile.
For Rob, his friend, he aim was true
Showing us all, what friendship can do.
Not measured in trophies, applause, or fame…
But turning up, again and again.
And in every mile he chose to run,
He showed us how friendship is truly done.
Chelsea FC can inform supporters wishing to leave physical tributes to our former striker Bobby Tambling that there is the opportunity to do so at Stamford Bridge.
An area is roped off in front of Bobby’s tribute plaque on the Shed Wall at the south end of the stadium site, close to the Megastore. Fans are welcome to lay flowers, scarves, written messages etc. there.
Bobby was one of the most prolific goalscorers in Chelsea history and his 202-goal total was the club’s highest before being surpassed by Frank Lampard.
Rest in peace, Bobby. 💙
Seeing lots of Dele Alli slander online last few days about how he has no club still and is considering retiring at 29. But let's be clear... Dele didn't fall off as a footballer because he was lazy... He was consumed by his childhood trauma, the guy was subject to abuse aged 6 among other things, forget his football career, I’m glad he’s still alive & tries to heal after the courage he showed to speak out about it ♥️
🚨 Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid, HERE WE GO! Agreement in place and contract approved.
Two year deal plus one year option, fast deal by Madrid started 36h ago and closed immediately.
Mourinho wanted Bernardo, he says yes and advanced talks revealed today are 100% confirmed.
This is what the World Cup is all about. ❤️
The single South Korea could have felt slightly intimidated surrounded by Hundreds of Mexican fans. Instead, the Mexicans embraced him, dancing with him and even throwing him in the air…. 🤣
Love it! 🇲🇽🤝🇰🇷
Can we please stop with this nonsense that every man who served in the armed forces is a decent one.
This one assaulted 2 female police officers.
Banned from running a company
Sacked from a tv programme for his behaviour including his lewd comments to women.
#Bucs ILB Alex Anazlone says things are looking good in this defense. It took him a couple weeks to get all the verbiage down.
He said Todd Bowles’ defense is “a little bit more of a complex system.”
Jamie Vardy: "[We] Played #ManCity away [in 2023], lost. @ErlingHaaland just scored and we're kicking off. I'm stood next to him on the halfway line and I let out a little laugh and got battered for it [by Leicester fans]...
"But I was only laughing because Haaland had come back and just turned round and went, 'I got that run from watching videos of you'. So I had a little chuckle and went, 'Well can you f*****g stop doing it?!'" [via @VardyPartyPod]
