Chelsea fans slam producers of hit show Ted Lasso over 'disrespectful' fan edit

Chelsea featured in the latest episode of Apple TV's hit show Ted Lasso - but some fans were unhappy about one thing they saw there.

The fictional version of Stamford Bridge featured a banner dedicated to one of the characters, saying 'They don't make them like Roy anymore'.

However, it appears that it was doctored banner which in reality is dedicated to late Ray Wilkins, a proper Chelsea legend who died aged 61 in 2018.

A Chelsea Supporters’ Trust spokesperson said: "This is a banner paid for by supporters to commemorate a Chelsea legend - Ray Wilkins.

"Many supporters have seen this edit to be disrespectful, and we have expressed our disappointment to club officials.

"We expect that Chelsea will address this in due course."

Chelsea have not publicly reacted to that yet, even though they were involved in the promotion of the episode through posts on social media.
