Ossie’s ashes buried at the Bridge
Chelsea gave their flamboyant legendary centre forward, who died earlier this year, a fitting memorial as 2,700 fans in The Shed joined with a galaxy of former stars, family and friends on the pitch to pay their tribute.
The occasion — and the weather — matched the style of the larger-than-life Osgood, scorer of 150 goals in 380 games for the club. Claps of thunder greeted the Coldstream Guards band as they marched onto the Stamford Bridge pitch through a guard of honour of Chelsea Pensioners.
