The Guardian FootballKen Bates obituary
Former owner and chairman of Chelsea FC who bought the club for a pound and helped restore it to the top rank of English football For more than 20 years, Ken Bates, who has died aged 94, was synonymous with Chelsea Football Club, which he bought in 1982 from the Mears family, who had lost control after rebuilding the west stand.

The Guardian FootballWorld Cup 2026 power rankings: who leads the pack as semi-finals loom?
We assess the teams who played in the last eight as the business end of the tournament approaches Didier Deschamps has seen it all before and certainly does not fear even the lowest of blocks.

Real Madrid forward is thriving on the global stage as the first player to score twice in consecutive knockout matches at the tournament since Maradona in 1986 England’s World Cup journey has rapidly become the Jude Bellingham show.
