Peter Osgood: In words, pictures and video

Tue 1 Mar 2016


Using previously unseen images, footage of the era and contemporary words
written about the King of Stamford Bridge, the official Chelsea website
celebrates the great Peter Osgood a decade after his passing.


It was 10 years ago today we suddenly and tragically lost one of the very
best players to wear the blue of Chelsea, but memories of him, as a player
and a person, will live on forever.


Here we recall his career in west London with freshly-digitalised photos,
clips from British Pathe and Chelsea TV, and newspaper reports
highlighting some of the forward's greatest moments, starting at the very
beginning...


"The player who saved Chelsea's faces was 17-year-old centre
forward Peter Osgood, making his first-team debut. He got both
goals."


The Daily Mirror reports above on our 2-0 League Cup win over Workington
Town in December 1964. We had needed a Stamford Bridge replay to progress
to the semi-finals where Ossie starred in his maiden Chelsea appearance.

In front of a brand new West Stand in January 1966, Osgood's brilliance
decided a tight London derby against Tottenham, as reported by The Times...


'It took Osgood to win the match,' they wrote. 'The way he did so, in pure
style, with artistic footwork and shooting power, marked him as one who
could yet lead England's attack for the World Cup, providing he is not
weighed down by the praise he deserves.


'Venables and Graham, in a flurry of inter-passing, seemed to have run
themselves into a cul-de-sac. Into their moment of indecision strode
Osgood.


'Robbing Graham of the ball he moved sideways to freedom in five swift
strides and from 25 yards sent home a rising shot which to us was just a
blur and to Jennings perhaps no more than a brush of wind. There is no
defence against a stroke like that. There was an imperious Corinthian ring
about it.’


Considered by many to be the finest goal Osgood scored in a Chelsea shirt,
here The Observer describes his winning effort against Burnley later in
January 1966.

The 1965/66 season was indeed a breakthrough one for Osgood, who firmly
established himself in Tommy Docherty's team and helped the Blues achieve
a respectable fifth-placed finish in the league.

For the second season in a row we reached the FA Cup semi-final, too,
beating Hull in the last eight with Osgood involved in two of the goals.

Unfortunately we lost to Sheffield Wednesday at the semi-final stage
though we would go one better the following season when Tottenham defeated
us in the Wembley final. Ossie was missing due to a broken leg. Chelsea's
and his FA Cup time would come...

Osgood converts a penalty at Highbury in December 1967. Ten of his 150
Chelsea goals were scored from the spot.


"Osgood played his normal game of midfield creator, the ball
glancing off him in a wide fan of imaginative angles like radio
beams bouncing off Telstar."


The Times highlights above the performance of Osgood in their match report
of our game against reigning champions Manchester City in November 1968.
Despite playing over half the game with 10 men, we won 2-0. Osgood
clinically finished for the second goal, pictured below.

"The ball ran loose to Osgood and from far out he arrowed his
fierce left foot drive just inside the post. As brilliant as it
was unexpected, the shot stirred supporters and players to wild
applause."


The Observer describes above an Osgood goal in a 2-2 draw with Wolves in
September 1969.


The 1969/70 season would prove Osgood's most memorable. As well as netting
23 league goals to help us finish third, the striker scored in every round
of our victorious FA Cup campaign, which began with a 3-0 victory over
Birmingham at Stamford Bridge. Highlights of the game in January 1970,
including Osgood's opener, can be seen here.

Though best remembered for his dazzling footwork and balletic style,
Osgood was a fine header of a football, as shown by his goal against
Birmingham above. He also scored from the air in the semi-final against
Watford at a very muddy White Hart Lane, pictured below.

But unquestionably the most renowned header of his career and one of his
greatest goals of all came in the FA Cup final replay against Leeds
United. A 2-2 draw at Wembley meant the teams had to do it all again at
Old Trafford, and with the Blues trailing by a goal to nil Osgood
delivered when it mattered most...


"Here was the poetry of football and it came with a magical
exchange of passes between Hollins, Hutchinson, Osgood and the
hard-running Cooke. Over came Cooke's perfect chip and there was
Osgood infiltrating from the left to the blind side to head a
magnificent goal."


How The Times reported Osgood's famous equaliser the following day.
Chelsea had lifted the FA Cup for the first time after a 2-1 extra-time
win.

Osgood opens the scoring in a 2-1 win against West Ham at Stamford Bridge
in December 1970. Bobby Moore looking on is helpless to prevent our star
striker netting. He would quickly get the second goal, too.


But Osgood's 1970/71 season would be interrupted not long after the
victory over West Ham which is pictured above. After picking up six yellow
cards in a year - back when they were much harder to come by - he was
handed an eight-week ban from playing football.


He returned to the team for a Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final second leg
against Club Bruges in March 1971, but not before Sexton said he would not
start him because he didn't think he was match-fit. Only Osgood's obvious
devastation changed the manager's mind. What followed was special...


'Osgood came into a Chelsea side desperate for his scoring flair as they
set out to pull back from a 2-0 defeat in Belgium,' wrote The Daily Mirror.


'And he obliged in a way that 45,558 fans lucky enough to see this
marvellous match will never forget. It was Osgood's goal in the 81st
minute that made the aggregate score 2-2 and earned Chelsea extra time.


'And it was Osgood's goal six minutes from the end of extra time that gave
Chelsea the vital breakthrough for a 3-2 lead. Osgood signalled his
delight by leaping the four-feet barrier surrounding the pitch, to be
engulfed by excited fans.'


As Ossie wrote in his autobiography: 'In that moment the fans and I were
one, united in euphoria.'


The quarter-final tie ended 4-2 on aggregate but injury prevented Osgood
playing in the last-four win over Manchester City but he was back in the
team, if not fully-fit, for the showpiece final against Real Madrid in
Athens.


A 1-1 draw - Osgood getting our goal - meant once again a replay would be
needed before Chelsea could lift silverware. Two days later the teams
reconvened and Osgood, only playing his fifth match in four months because
of injury and suspension, scored again to add to an earlier goal from John
Dempsey. The Spaniards did get one back ensuring a nervy finish but we
held on to spark delirious scenes in the Greek capital and in London. This
is how The Guardian reported Osgood's strike, which he is pictured
celebrating below, in the decisive replay...


"Osgood left his mark on the game with an elegant goal. He scored
from Baldwin's pass after some good work at the rear from Harris."


The defence of our first European crown began in style with a record 21-0
aggregate victory over Luxembourg minnows Jeunesse Hautcharage. Osgood
struck a hat-trick in the first game and five more in the second, a 13-0
romp which remains a club record win. The Times neatly summed up the role
of our number nine, pictured below scoring his second goal at the Bridge.


"Osgood acted as executioner-in-chief."


Osgood's final full season in his first spell at Stamford Bridge was
1972/73. He was named the club's Player of the Year and for the fourth
time finished as our top scorer, netting 17 goals in all competitions.
None was more special than a volley against Arsenal in the FA Cup which
won the prestigious Match of the Day 'Goal of the Season' competition. Its
brilliance can be watched below.

- Continuing the official Chelsea website's marking of the 10th
anniversary of Peter Osgood's passing, tomorrow we will be speaking to his
first captain at Chelsea, Terry Venables, and later in the week we will
recall when Ossie was skipper himself during his second spell at Stamford
Bridge. This leads up to the announcement of a new special award to be
presented at this weekend's home game.

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
