1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The spirit you showed playing football
Spread around to all of the others
You personified the spirit at Chelsea
You were one big happy band of brothers

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 As Hammers we stood in the Shed end
Shouting abuse at you and your fans
But you played your heart out for Chelsea
And upset many teams plans

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 I remember a goal at Old Trafford
You scored at the old Stretford End
It was in that Cup Final replay
Leeds just couldn’t defend

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 As an opposing team’s supporter
I looked on and admired your skill
And when you scored for Chelsea
You could see it gave you a thrill

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 They will miss you down at the Bridge now
But your memory will live on through the years
Of Osgood the chants they’ll keep singing
At first it’ll be through choked tears

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 A player like you ain’t around now
And that is a loss to the game
We’ll all remember the great Peter Osgood
Your passing is such a great shame
