Peter Osgood - Goodbye to a Chelsea Great

3 October 2006

The greatest honour a club can bestow on a Player was conferred on Peter Osgood on Sunday Oct 1 with his ashes buried under the penalty spot.

This was followed by the unveiling of a plaque in his honour behind the goal on the shed end by Captain John Terry and Osgood’s Captain Ron Harris.

It had started with the Chelsea Pensioners forming a guard of honour and the Coldstream Guards providing the music as Ossie entered the arena in his traditional way, behind captain Ron Harris and goalkeeper Peter Bonetti, but for this last time carried in a blue urn by widow Lynn with two of his sons, Anthony and Darren.

What does it mean to be a “True Blue”?

19 July 2006

Is it holding a Season Ticket year in, year out? Definitely not!

Is it buying Club merchadise or telling a Gunner how much we love Chelsea? Probably not.

It is knowing like the Manager does that we are united in the belief that to conquer we have to be one with each other. We all have a part to play in the march to success.

The Players are confident in their abilities afterall they are the best in the business! The Manager has absolute faith in his team and makes sure that they understand what is expected of them and trusts the management from Kenyon down to match Stewards and up to Club Owner Abramovich to deliver resources needed to get the best from the Team.

The home Supporters and everyone who hold Chelsea dear to their hearts play their part in giving REAL support to the team knowing that the team understands that winning is paramount.

So to answer my question,

being a True Blue means wanting to win trophies with Chelsea! No matter what anyone might want or even when the team plays poorly, we want to win, scrape through if necessary.
