Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly apologises - but pins the blame on Roman Abramovich's regime - for the 'disrespectful' editing of club legend Ray Wilkins' banner in Ted Lasso, in a rare public statement

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has issued an apology on Twitter after fans were left incensed by Ted Lasso producers doctoring a tribute to club legend Ray Wilkins.

Ted Lasso, the hit sports-comedy series which sees an American football coach recruited to manage a fictional Premier League side, took its latest episode to Stamford Bridge as part of a storyline involving character Roy Kent.

The episode includes Kent, an ex-Chelsea player in the world of Ted Lasso, returning to a hero's welcome at his former club, with cameras at one stage showing a banner which reads: 'They don't make them like Roy anymore'.
