Roman Abramovich changed the face of English football when he bought Chelsea for £140m nearly 20 years ago.

The Russian billionaire transformed Chelsea from a club on the brink of financial oblivion into one of the richest and most successful football powerhouses in the world.

Chelsea have won 21 major trophies in the Abramovich era, enjoyed glorious success, signed the best players and overhauled rivals like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Since taking over in 2003, Abramovich has ploughed hundreds of millions into the club and his lavish spending raised the bar and few other clubs have managed to keep up.

The fans have lived the dream, enjoyed the glory and celebrations.

But, deep in the back of the minds of the Chelsea fans, was a lingering fear that this day would come.

The unthinkable day, the day in which the Abramovich era would come tumbling down and the club would go back to what is was before.

Abramovich now finds himself in an impossible situation of being a Russian oligarch trapped by Russia’s devastating, disgusting and deadly invasion of Ukraine.

The walls are closing in, the Government is facing huge pressure to seize and freeze the assets of Russian billionaires who have long established their wealth and lavish homes in the most upmarket spots in London around
