Chelsea Football Club have paid tribute
to its Life President, Lord Richard
Attenborough, after the 90-year-old
cinema great - and life-long Blues
supporter - died on Sunday.

Fondly called 'Lord A', Attenborough
was Life President of the Stamford
Bridge side, and helped establish
Chelsea's reputation as London's
glamour club with his high profile
support.

The Oscar winning director also helped
Chelsea to hang on to their Stamford
Bridge home when it was threatened by
property developers.

The club said in a statement as released
on their website: 'Chelsea Football Club
is tonight deeply saddened to learn of
the passing of our Life President Lord
Attenborough, CBE at the age of 90.

'He led a long and successful life and
always found time for the things in life
he loved most, one of which was
Chelsea FC.'

Lord A held a position on Chelsea's
board in the 1970s when they won the
FA Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

In 2008, Lord Attenborough was
honoured with the position of the club's
Life President. He served on the board
at Stamford Bridge from 1969 to 1982.
