Peter Osgood
Chelsea and Southampton legend Peter Osgood died yesterday at the age of 59.
Osgood collapsed while attending a family funeral service on Wednesday at Slough crematorium.
Dubbed the 'King of Stamford Bridge' he made 380 appearances for Chelsea and scored 150 goals, helping them win the 1970 FA Cup and 1971 Cup Winners' Cup.
He then joined the Saints in 1974 and guided the Second Division club to victory over Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final.
Osgood was also a member of England's 1970 World Cup squad and made four appearances for the national side.
A true great of the beautiful game.
