BenIsLegend 475 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Lots saying the East Stand should be renamed in honour of him and I completely agree. Without him we probably wouldn't be at Stamford Bridge anymore, and we might not have even survived that as a club. We owe a lot to him as Chelsea fans.

boshman 1,073 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 @zolayes Yes, saddened is a better way to put it. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/08/lord-attenborough-1923-2014.htmlFantastic article on the Chelsea website about the man. I never realised how influential he was in saving The Bridge. We have him to thank for so much. A stand named after him would be a great honour for a man we can probably never thank enough.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Deeply saddened by his death. One of the greatest directors in the film business of all times and also a world class actor. I will never forget his wroks esp. Gandhi and Cry freedom but also shadowland and a bridge too far are very underrated movies - coincidentially the latter is is about young men going from Britain to Arnheim for work. Sounds familiar to me^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Truly saddened to learn about this. Jurassic Park was a big part of my childhood and once older, I appreciated Gandhi, Chaplin and Cry Freedom. Rest In Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 It was always a point of pride that this man held such a position within the club. A fine actor, a great director and an absolute gentleman whose importance to this club's history cannot be understated. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 RIPI think it's only fitting that the man who helped us stay at Stamford Bridge, among many other things, gets a stand named after him. I hope the club does seriously consider honouring him by doing just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 For Those of you saying name a stand after him, there are lots of petitions going round on Twitter to rename the East Stand after himThat's a really nice idea and the Attenborough Stand has a fantastic ring to it. Would love to see something like that happen. We'll be wearing black armbands at Everton too. Somewhat fitting this should happen on a Bank Holiday weekend though....somewhere The Great Escape will be showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
