Sad news:
------------------------------

Chelsea and Southampton legend Peter Osgood has died at the age of 59.

Osgood collapsed while attending a family funeral service on Wednesday at Slough crematorium before he was taken to Wexham Park Hospital.

The forward made 286 appearances for the Blues and scored 105 goals, helping his side win the 1970 FA Cup and 1971 European Cup Winners' Cup.

59's not much of an age. I liked him as a player in the 70's when I was a boy. I hope he receives a good send off
