Just heard this on talkSport. Peter Osgood, ex Chelsea and Southampton player has died aged 59.

More here.

Apparently, he collapsed whilst at a funeral.

Very sad. RIP.

I don't remember him too well. So without trying to sound disrespectful, was he a great player as being claimed? As whenever an ex-player dies they are called legends etc.

I'm sure if you ask any long-time Chelsea fan to name 2 of their best ever players they'll probably say Osgood as one of them.

Indeed, a presenter on talkSport has said, along with Zola, Osgood was probably one of the greatest ever Chelsea players.I also heard he was recently named in the all-time greatest Chelsea team.

There's a minutes silence for both Ron Greenwood and Osgood tonight before the England match.
