Chelsea have paid tribute to their former player Terry Venables in their matchday programme for Sunday's game at home to Brighton.

Venables, who started his playing career at Chelsea, died last weekend at the age of 80.

After joining Chelsea as a youth player in 1958, Venables went on to play over 200 senior games for the Blues and scored 31 goals.

He won the League Cup with Chelsea in 1965 and also helped the club to earn promotion to the top tier of English football.

Chelsea included a picture of Venables on the cover of their matchday programme and reflected on the contribution that he made to the club.
