Chelsea Quiz 5 Results

First off here are the answers

1. Who said “You’ve sat on your backside, stabbed Danny in the back and I can’t work for you.” And who did he say it to (a point for each name)

That was Ossie talking to Geoff Hurst.

Hurst handed Ossie squad number 16 out of 16 (back in the days when numbers 1-11 meant something) and when Ossie queried it Hurst told him it was because he wasn’t fit. Ossie had a hairy canary:

“You’ve been coach here for three months. How long does it take to get a player fit then? You’ve sat on your backside, stabbed Danny (Blanchflower) in the back and I can’t work for you. I’ll pick my cards up.”

And he did, Ossie never played football again.
