'Dickie' who had trained with the club before filming Brighton Rock, was responsible for bringing many Hollywood greats to Stamford Bridge during the 1960s.
Most importantly, Lord A refused to sell his shares to the freehold of Stamford Bridge in the 80s with many property developers waiting for some prime real estate in London's fashionable west end.
Lord A became the clubs life president, and Chelsea has always had the biggest part of his heart.
In recent years, illness had kept Lord A away from Stamford Bridge. Renaming the East stand would cement his legacy and would be a fitting tribute to a man that epitomised what is was to be Chelsea.
The idea is being taken to the club this Thursday. So if we can show the club our support.

He kept the dream alive when nobody else cared. Name it after him and let's get it done.
would be a class move. he was part of the furniture at the bridge for so long
The man literally saved our club when we had nothing. East Stand is the perfect place for his name.
RIP Dickie. True blue.
Without him we probably wouldn't even have a stadium today. Big respect.
Absolute legend deserves this. R.I.P.
