Osgood's run on 0m59s is a thing of beauty.

With all the bollox on the other threads, with which manager this, why we not signing that player, and we ain't getting a new shiny stadium now, you can always be cheered up by that season and that team!!!! What season was it again??

Let me think ! Nah, now that would be telling fibs

 

It's...wait for the drum roll for dramatic effect.

 

1983/84

A season that may just have been mentioned (almost daily ) on here, by those of us 'of a certain Chelsea vintage'.

Ossie was different class. That run he did from our defence to their penalty area was top notch.

He was rapid before he badly broke his leg apparently. When he returned from injury he reckoned he had to remodel his style of play because he lost a yard of pace.

Theres a longer version of this game kicking around which shows Chopper running with the ball and having a howitzer of a 50/50, leaving his opponent on the deck ( not a foul, just a beast of a tackle).

We can thank Emlyn Hughes for the 'tackle' that did his leg.

And apparently laughing while Ossie was writhing in agony.

Just looking at our physio Norman Medhurst there- Norman, Norman give us a wave- he was involved with the England set up for a good while- the main rub man was Fred Street from Arsenal ( unbelievably there was only one official physio back then) and Normans entry into the national team was as kitman. This is according to my mate Jimmy Hendry who was our second in command to NM.

RIP Norman

Yes, I vaguely remember Hughes lunging into the tackle then, when Ossie was on his arse holding his leg, standing over him and sneering. Osgood was head and shoulders above any centre forward then but Ramsey would only select him four times for England. Two reasons for that: 1) He didn't like flair players 2) He hated Chelsea even more when, as a player, Stan Willemse put him on to the dog track at Stamford Bridge, after he'd hauled down Frank Blunstone for the umpteenth time
