Chelsea legend John Dempsey has left most of his £422,000 fortune in his will to his widow.
He gifted his son and daughter two of his most treasured medals.
The former centre-half, who died aged 78 on 5 November last year, played 207 times for the Blues.

He was a key figure in their early glory years.
Newly-released probate documents show the Ireland international left £422,337 to his widow Patricia – known as Tricia.
But son Paul Dempsey received one of the late star’s most precious keepsakes – his 1970 FA Cup winners’ medal.
That dramatic final against Leeds first ended 2–2 at Wembley before going to a replay at Old Trafford, where Chelsea famously edged it 2–1.

Daughter Louise Crofts was handed another of her dad’s crown jewels – his 1971 European Cup Winners’ Cup medal, as reported by NeedToKnow.
Dempsey smashed home a memorable volley in the replay of that final against the mighty Real Madrid, sealing a 2–1 win in Athens.
She also inherited his Football League Cup tankard and Defensive Player of the Year Award.
Paul, meanwhile, was given his father’s Real Madrid watch and a special recognition trophy presented to the defender by Chelsea in 2008.
The rest of his football shirts, caps, photos and memorabilia were split between the two siblings.


The will states: “I give free of any tax or duty arising in respect of my death.
“To my said son Paul, my 1969/1970 FA Cup winners medal, my Real Madrid watch and my special recognition trophy presented by Chelsea FC in 2008.
“To my said daughter Louise, my 1971 European Cup winners medal, my Football League cup tankard and my Defensive Player of the Year Award.
“All of my remaining football memorabilia, football shirts, photograph albums and caps to Paul and Louise in equal shares absolutely.”
Smaller sums of money were left to other relatives and friends.
