My God, that Wiki page is a reminder of how, shall we say, controversial he was.
Not a man I admired, still I hope he finds peace and sleeps well.

The instigator of the improvement in Chelsea's long term fortunes.
Just seen this news and thought bit controversial to post about this man on this particular site.
But whoever he was aligned with, he has left this earth.
So best wishes.
And RIP |  |

Reminds me of the suggestion that both him and Jim Gregory wanted to buy us in the mid-60s - rumours suggest that he was actually a supporter. Jim won; Bates lost before he resurfaced at Wigan and then 'that lot'. Urban myth maybe but he would have been 'very QPR' but I'm glad we dodged that potential bullet | | | |

You know, I've sat and reflected on this for a few days and with all the respect due: f**k Ken Bates. Dead or not, man was a prick. |  |
| Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. |

His official on the record retort to Chelsea reporting him for racism was "I haven’t laughed so much since Ma caught her tits in the mangle” |  | | |
