Saddened to hear this news. What a great man. RIP.

Ah no. RIP Richard

He brought some celbs to the bridge

Loved Jurassic Park, couldn't believe the effects, the cast was amazing too which I appreciated as I got older, including the man himself. Proper Chelsea too.

They say you never get over the death of a child and I think that may well have contributed to his passing, they always seem to do :( rest in peace.

The fact that he was 90 years old may just have contributed as well.

It's kind of eerie that when Ramsey scores a goal someone famous dies.

A good full life thiugh RIP

Actor, director and lifelong Chelsea fan Richard Attenborough has passed away at the age of 90.

R.I.P

RIP Dickie

 

Chelsea through and though

 

 

 

 

 

I remember Dickie being interviewed by Des Lynam on the morning of the cup final against Middlesborough in 1997. He had worn this hat through all the previous rounds and had it with him during the interview. He talked about bringing Olivier amongst others to the bridge back in the day, and showed a love and enthusiasm for our club that still makes my heart swell. Always our life president.

You know what? I typed in brackets after that statement 'I know he was 90' ... but didn't think anyone on here was that spiteful enough to pick apart my comment rather than post a message of well wishes so I deleted it.

Better put a disclaimer in next time. He's also been in ill health too for a while, they may have contributed too, don'tcha think?

Had enough of you, pedantic prick.

Whose hungry?

I know this has nothing to do with me, but please don't start an argument on this thread. It just dosen't seem appropriate if you ask me.

Gave an acting masterclass in 10 Rillington Place R.I.P. Sir Dickie.

Theres a Richard Attenborough thread in the film/TV forum, is it possible for an admin to merge them together?

 

While im here, what a contribution he has given to Chelsea and to film over the years. He is also the founder of the 'Help a Capital Child' charity. RIP Richard.

Gem, any way you could merge this thread with the thread in the 'General Chelsea' forum if possible? Cheers. 

Chelsea's tribute to Richard. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/08/lord-attenborough-1923-2014.html

Saddened to hear of his passing, great actor, director and a dedicated blue. RIP Big X

R.I.P. Bartlett, such a wonderful actor and ambassador.

what a film, most of that cast dead now mcqueen, garner,bronson, coburn pleasance, dickie was a true blue.

A truly great loss of a fine gentleman/actor/ambassador: what a rich enduring mark he has left on all of us & particularly Chels. Highest salutations dickie - you'll never be forgotten.  

RIP to a top man... just as I was thinking of rewatching Gandhi as well. Top respect to a true blue as well, would have no problem with renaming the East Stand after him, I already work in the Attenborough Tower at university!

A true Chelsea fan, a fantastic actor turned director and a great man to boot.

 

If anyone has read Brighton Rock and seen Lord Attenborough's portrayal of Pinkie you will know how talented he was.

 

R.I.P Richard.

Massive respect to a great actor director and life long Chelsea fan.

We became known (and still are in a way) the fashionable/hip/trendy club to support in the 60's I think partly because of location but also because Richard used to come along with some of his show biz friends

RIP life president, not a bad innings

He is one of those actors whose films can be reeled off, particularly his 50s and 60s films: In Which We Serve, Guns at Batasi, The League of Gentlemen, Dunkirk, etc. There are now very few of the greats of that era with us.

RIP.
