切爾西傳奇主帥戴夫˙塞克斯頓於英國時間11月25日離世，終年82歲，切爾西俱
樂部向他的家人和朋友致以深切的哀悼。


塞克斯頓曾作為主帥，帶領切爾西在1970年首次奪得足總盃冠軍，一年後更帶領
球隊稱霸歐洲優勝者盃，這是俱樂部史上首座歐洲賽事冠軍。


塞克斯頓在1967年從達赫迪 (Tommy Docherty) 手中接過切爾西帥印，儘管他執
教的首場比賽就輸給利茲聯，但此後球隊進步明顯，在下半賽季表現出色，最終奪得
聯賽第六名。

玉樹臨風


The capture of striker Ian Hutchinson from Cambridge United prior to
the start of the following season turned out to be a masterstroke, and
Sexton, to the delight of the Stamford Bridge supporters, improved our
fortunes further, leading us to a fifth-place finish.


1969/70賽季，進步明顯的切爾西奪得了俱樂部史上首座足總盃冠軍，這時的藍
軍有許多天賦超群的球員，包括彼得˙博內蒂、查理˙庫克和奧斯古德等俱樂部傳奇
就是那個時候的主力， but players such as Ron Harris, David Webb and
Hutchinson were the unsung heroes.


After finishing third in the league, Sexton led his side out at
Wembley for an FA Cup final against Leeds in a game that will be mostly
remembered for its brutality.


There was no shortage of quality on offer, however, with both sides
producing moments of brilliance, but a replay was needed to separate the
teams following a 2-2 draw under the Twin Towers.

中間那人好眼熟啊，不就是 Don Fucking Revie 嗎？
旁邊那小矮子也很眼熟啊，不就是該死的 Billy Bremner 嗎？


The replay took place at Old Trafford a few days later, and after
going behind the Blues recovered to win the match 2-1 thanks to an injury
time header from Webb, which sent those supporters who had descended on
Manchester in their droves into dreamland.


As well as securing our first trophy in five years, Sexton had
ensured European football would be coming to Stamford Bridge the following
season, and what a memorable journey that proved to be.


1970/11賽季，雖然我們在聯賽的排名比前一個賽季低了3位，但球隊卻在歐洲優
勝者盃一路過關斬將最終捧盃，歷史上首次成為歐洲冠軍。


Having already disposed of the likes of CSKA Sofia and Bruges, we
secured our place in the final by eliminating Manchester City in an
all-English semi-final.


The mighty Real Madrid stood in our way but after the initial match,
which was played in Athens, ended in a 1-1 draw, the Blues emerged
victorious from the replay, winning 2-1 courtesy of goals by John Dempsey
and Peter Osgood to claim our first European trophy.


The following season, however, failed to hit the heights of the
previous two. A seventh-place finish was a commendable achievement, but
having seen his side eliminated from the FA Cup by Leyton Orient and
knocked out in the second round of the Cup Winners' Cup, alarm bells began
to sound.


Sexton then had a high-profile falling out with striker Peter Osgood,
which the pair were unable to recover from, a dispute that would
ultimately lead to the departure of the fans' favourite.


The 1972/73 campaign began well, but a slump around Christmas,
coupled with a string of poor results during the second half of the season
saw the Blues finish a lowly, disappointing 12th. Sexton's decision to
sell Charlie Cooke to Crystal Palace merely added to the supporters'
discontent.


The following season started badly and gradually worsened, but the
manager's decision to sell Osgood to Southampton in March 1974 was a
decision that all but sealed his fate.


He was allowed to remain in charge into the following campaign, but
after another poor start he was dismissed in October 1974, before going on
to manage both Queens Park Rangers and Manchester United, followed by
later jobs with the Football Association including England Under-21
manager and the FA's first technical director. He was awarded an OBE to
football in 2005.


塞克斯頓時期的門將彼得˙博內蒂表示：“對於塞克斯頓我只有讚賞，昨晚他安
樂地與世長辭了，我感到震驚，因為他是多麼可愛的一個人。每個人都喜歡他、尊重
他，他為俱樂部帶來了許多榮譽，所以他肯定會被記入我們光輝的歷史中。”


'He was a football fanatic, it's so sad and I really can't believe
it. Everything he did was fantastic, the fact we won the FA Cup in 1970
was a big memory.


克里夫˙沃克爾說道：“聽到他離世的消息我感到非常傷心，因為正正是他將我
帶入足壇，他在當時敢為天下先，是個銳意改革的主帥。他的理念是切爾西寶貴的財
產，他當時幫助了我們這些新人許多。”


Ron Harris, Sexton's captain, told Press Association Sport: 'It's a
sad day, especially for the players that played under him. He used to
spend hours on the training field. He was the best coach I ever worked
with. I've got some great memories.


'Dave was a very honest man who would pat you on the back. He came
across as a bright lad. You knew when he was upset, you could see it in
his face.'


切爾西俱樂部歷史學家格蘭維爾寫道：'Dave Sexton took the dynamic,
volatile, much-loved side of Tommy Docherty and made it a more pragmatic
and versatile team, equipped to win trophies. He was a pioneer in the use
of technology in coaching and brought a flexibility to tactics and
line-ups that we'd never seen before.


'Unforgettably, he stewarded the 'King's Road swingers' to glory in
the 1970 FA Cup and 1971 Cup Winners' Cup - that replay, outfoxing Real
Madrid, being arguably his finest tactical game.


'It was not his fault that in the early 70s the club encountered
insurmountable financial problems. In later years it was a tragedy that
such a brilliant mind was clouded by dementia. He remained and will always
be a hero to fans of the 60s/70s Chelsea, and everyone will extend
enormous sympathy to his family and friends.'

There was a minute's applause in tribute at Stamford Bridge prior to
Sunday afternoon's match.
