Bobby was one of our greatest goalscorers, the holder of the record for the most Chelsea goals for 45 years until his 202 were overtaken by Frank Lampard in 2013. ๐
Chelsea Football Club has very sadly lost one of our most legendary players with the passing of Bobby Tambling at the age of 84.
We send our deepest condolences to Bobbyโs family and friends at this difficult time.

Club legend Cesar Azpilicueta will retire from football at the end of the season.
Congratulations on a superb career, Azpi, and thank you for everything. ๐
โฆโฆ.To the fans: your passion and support inspired me to give my best every day. Your belief in me, especially during tough times, made the good moments even better. I hope you saw a player who always gave everything for your colours, with pride and heart.
To my family: you have always been by my side and cheered me on through hard times, your love and support mean everything to me. I hope you feel proud. I could not have achieved any of this without you on this journey.
Football has given me so much: it has taught me values like teamwork, sacrifice, humility, and respect.
It has granted me the opportunity to explore new countries, new cultures, and new languages. My heart is full of gratitude and memories I will carry with me into whatever comes next.
With love,

Dear football,
Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel itโs time to start a new chapter in my life.
Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.
When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. Iโm grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people Iโve met and the friendships Iโve made along the way.
To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs Iโve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlรฉtico de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to meโฆ
