Chelsea have agreed on damage settlements with former players who were victims of racist bullying 30 years ago.

Four ex-players were part of a High Court Inquisition into claims regarding abuse from Chelsea coaches Gwyn Williams and Graham Rix.

The club issued an apology for the incident, while there is entirely new ownership at the Blues at present due to the 2003 takeover from Roman Abramovich.

In a statement confirming the conclusion of the case, Chelsea said: "The club is pleased that we have been able to conclude a settlement of these claims without any further litigation.

"We will continue to offer support to the former players concerned through our dedicated Player Support Service."
