The latest episode of Ted Lasso saw Ray Wilkins' banner at Stamford Bridge doctored, causing uproar among the Chelsea fans.
Date published: Thursday 23rd March 2023 8:46 -Todd Boehly has apologised for the hurt caused after Ted Lasso producers edited a Stamford Bridge tribute to club legend Ray Wikins, laying the blame for the misstep at the door of his predecessor, Roman Abramovich.
The Apple TV show altered the banner which in real-life reads ‘They don’t make them like Ray anymore’ in homage to Wikins, who passed away at the age of 61 back in 2018, to instead feature ‘Roy’. Former Chelsea pitch announcer and presenter Neil Barnett first posted on Wednesday night: ‘If changing ‘Ray’ to ‘Roy’ on a supporters paid for banner commemorating a late legend is the way Eghbali/Boehly believe is an example of how Europeans have failed to maximise football income, they’re in for a rough ride. Nothing is going well yet. Time to keep their heads down’.: ‘We had nothing to do these arrangements. The deal w/ apple was struck in 1Q/22.
After he passed away in 2018, Chelsea unveiled the aforementioned banner in his honour, which still stands at home games.
