Think you've summed it up. The emotion he gave and people still feel is the best.
The freedom and abandonment he played with is not about too much these days.
I wonder how many current players have watched that tribute?

The atmosphere at that game was the best I have seen at the Bridge,I remember some of the players saying the same.

Peter Osgood the King. A man who realised. us working class lads would die for him, and he knew it ,and respected us for it. My house was brought up with the names Osgood, Hutchison The cat,Chopper Charlie cooke. I only saw Ossie in the second spell after those nasty sorts from the south coast got there hands on him. Elder brother would have killed me and me other brother if we was anything else but Chels, he had no fear on that, always disliked Bagels..
Little True story for you, I used to work in the car trade for a well known German Car manufacturer in Basingstoke (yes a London overspill) one of the salesman was master of ceremonies in the "Terry Pain suite," he asked me, as he knew I was an avid Chelsea Fan if i wanted to go. I said yes straight away to see the beloved Blues, something I dont do so much now, for costs, plus her indoors may not take too kindly to Fulham Old bill knocking on the door. Anyway he tells me guest of honour is Peter Osgood. At this I was ecstatic, he will always be my King as he was one of us, only Zola will get near him.
Also me brothers mate, an author from Mitcham who we used to go to games, with on coaches and some rather rebellious trips, tells us he is writing Ossies Auto Biography, at this we all thought he was taking the "michael," though he did write some books on his exploits at Chelsea. Now i am sitting down next to Ossie, being all cool and not hero worshipping, even though I was desperate too. Anyway i talk to his wife Lynne and tell her Ossie is my all time idol, She turns round and tells me he knows already. i ask how, and she says he knows a Chelsea Fan when he sees one. Anyway carry on meal, and more drink and Ossie confirms me brothers Mate is writing his Autobigrophy and has just phoned. Meal finishes all the questions as Os gives his talk before the game, are you Chelsea or Scu** er.? Ossie being the gent, gives the Liberal answer, while winking at me.
On to the game , as always happens the jammy scu**er gits go one up and if my memory serves me right it stayed like that till close to the end. At this point i am trying to remember I am in top corporate and for me mate, who got me in there I cant "chin anyone" thankfully Fat Frank scores to level the scores, now i dont hold back when I celebrate, but the king sitting next to me, was out of his seat before me, Jumping around and hugging the life out of me....Was he Chelsea or Scu**er....think we all know the answer to that. Upsetting all Scu**ers around us, did i care i was in Heaven and gave it real "Large"
Thank you Ossie and Chelsea, you are what makes us Chelsea Fans the most loyal there ever will be, My Chelsea has now gone, the greasy spoon has gone, all teams now take liberties at the Bridge, as it is full of Yuppies and Tourists, one day all us old Dinosaurs will be back, just like we were in Munich, we still think we are 16, Chelsea you and my family are my life.Always will be, though nower days have to make do with Watching League 2 football at Aldershot......I know, at least its grass roots football again..
