f**k off Kenny, there's only one King.

5 years ago today.

Let's do him justice tonight boys. Get them fired up for this JT & Frank - you know the History of our club, lets do him proud.

To Peter Osgood, the King of Stamford Bridge.

 
5 years? Man time goes by fast. Agree with everything you wrote Gem, well said.

 
Is it 5 years already? Christ thats gone quickly. Still in our memories, The King of Stamford Bridge.

 
RIP

Paid my respects early last weekend when I saw the statue :)

 
Wow, 5 years already?

RIP

To Peter Osgood, the King of Stamford Bridge!

 
I recorded the Chelsea TV tribute to Osgood, doesn't matter how many times I watch it I still fill up towards the end of the programme. Brilliant post Gem and I completely echo your sentiments.

 
And from the Peter Osgood trust, the winner of the Peter Osgood poem competition written by Daniel Clarke:

For OssieA young boy stands among the crowd,

Fifty thousand sing aloud.

Sun sets and rises and thirty years on,

He takes his seat next to his son.

He tells him of a man he did not know,

Compares him to today’s hero,

Blessed with talent he strived for success,

Before a time of greed and excess.

The papers print a name and a face,

But his people saw an idol of passion and grace.

For many a year he served the crest,

With the pride of the lion upon his chest.

His dreams, chased often, but realised by few,

Chasing silver, draped in blue.

For all the honours his successors have known,

His legacy has been etched in stone.

He lit the path, and led the way,

Set the bar for the stars of today.

Gone he may be, but forgotten never,

For the story of The King will live forever

My biggest regret was never getting to meet him . It says a lot about how highly regarded he was both as a player and a person when i recieved a comment from a non Chelsea fan on my facebook page a while back......'Tremendous player and a real gentleman, may god bless him '

This clip brings a lump to my throat , love the man foever and i will always thank him for him being the reason i became a Chelsea fan.

 
RIP to the one and only King. We sure could have used him this season.

 
Here's another one from the archives:

No apologies if any of these have been posted before, and don't expect any apologies from me or anyone else if they're posted all over again next year.

Great clip thanks for posting

 
A sad St David's day memory for us Welsh Chelsea fans. I actually did get to meet Ossie a couple of years before he died - bumped into him at the arrivals lounge in Heathrow late one night. He was very friendly and happily signed something for me and my kids. A true legend, fondly remembered.
