RIP Les Stubbs :(

RIP

Rest in Peace Les.

RIP Les.

I am glad that he was around for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th premier league titles. I am sure that he enjoyed them immensely.

Rick Glanvill writing about Les Stubbs:

'Les is often described as the unsung hero of our first great title-winning side, and is certainly not as feted as some others. But having arrived in 1952 and forced his way into Ted Drake's starting XI, he played 27 times in 1954/55 and scored five goals. Several of those were crucial, including the confidence-boosting winner at Sheffield United in September. But his greatest contribution came away to title rivals Wolves in December.

'Chelsea went 2-3 down from a disputed penalty with just three minutes remaining. Straight from the kick off Eric Parsons flew down the wing and crossed smartly. It was Les who beat Billy Wright and others to the ball and shot home the vital equaliser.

'Incredibly, Roy Bentley almost instantly scored the winner in a 4-3 victory that seriously dented Wolves' confidence. And perhaps in a nutshell that is why Les' crucial contributions tended to be underplayed.

'Roy and a few others provided the charisma, but they could not have achieved anything without the consistency of the likes of Les Stubbs.'

RIP Champion. Always a legend no matter how unsung you may have been

Before my time, but it's always sad to lose one of our own. He may not have been regarded as a 'legend', but he was a Championship winner.

RIP Mr Stubbs - quite a while before my time, but anyone who has won the league in a Chelsea shirt [there might be some exceptions here... Gallas] is someone I am likely to love.

RIP Les
