Well Gary, on this one we have to disagree.
I think the East / West Stand being re named the “Lord Attenborough Stand” would be a fitting tribute to not only a lovely man but a Chelsea Supporting Legend as well. – Ed
I think the thing about Richard Attenborough is not only was he an illustrious supporter of longstanding, but he was also a shareholder when Cabra tried to buy out the Bridge. Unlike other directors, he refused to sell giving Ken Bates the ammunition to frustrate the would-be property developers.
So although, of course, Chelsea is stuffed full of glorious ex-players who deserve a mention, Lord Attenborough was instrumental in saving the Bridge and therefore, in my opinion, it would be fitting to name a stand after him; if only to remind CPO shareholders of their duty.
