We had ossie over here in Waterford twice,first time was in 96 we had a great night and me and my mate gave him a nice bit of Waterford crystal from our supports club.myself and my sister walked him to he's hotel. The following year I meant him in the dressing rooms at the Stamford bridge v Leicester a couple of weeks before the cup final in 97 and to my amazement he remembered me as a 12 year old boy I was chuffed. Ossie was a real gent.

 
Out from the shed came a young rising star, Scoring against Jennings from near and from far...

When Chelsea won the game like we all knew they would, The star of that great team was Peter Osgood

There will only ever be one KING.

I will always remember when it came on the news that he had signed for Southampton, I would not have been more shocked if you told me world war three had just broken out.

The King of Stamford Bridge.

 
No mention of Ossie on the official site, but they're fans section did manage to post this as today's Shot Of The Day:

RIP Ossie.

 
I saw Osgood play on many, many occasions, and some of the goals he scored I can still recall today. I was in the Stretford Road End when he scored that unforgettable goal in the FA Cup Final, and if I close my eyes I can see it all as if it was only yesterday. Arguably the greatest moment in Chelsea's history.

He even gave me a lift once when I was hitching along the A3! He took me all the way to London, and we had a great chat about his life. What amazed me was his modesty, when I would have been bragging to the high heavens if I was in his position! A real gent; something a lot of players from all teams today should try and emulate.

In my opinion that was the greatest goal he ever scored

 
I was there that night in Manchester,still get nervous and goosebumps thinking about it even now. The atmosphere was unbelivable, to this day I have not seen support like it

 
Tony Hateley,

I know what you mean. When he scored that goal he ran to the left hand side of the goal and stood right in front of me. The look on his face said everything that ever needs to be said about that great victory. When I watch the replay a shudder runs down my spine, even after all these years!

 
I also remember him coming back from a SIX WEEKS suspension and scoring twice against FC Bruges in the cup winners cup. Another magical Ossie memory.

 
I went to both legs against FC Bruge. The one in Belgium was somewhat "tense", if you know what I mean. The second match at SB was a truly memorable game, with Ossie doing the business once again, just like Fansince65 says.
