[Saint Phil]

How about:

Chelsea Vs Southampton

What do you guys think?

Seeing as the massive impact that the great man had on both clubs, what would be more fitting than if the two clubs came together to celebrate the legends life?

It could be a pre season friendly. We could even make an annual trophy out of it. We have done that with Ted Bates where we play a top european team ever pre season. It works as well.

A one off game would be a fitting tribute to Ossie IMO.

[Dazz]

Thats a bloody good idea actually. I'd certainly like to see it happen.

[Harry Sideras]

If there's a game, that's the only one it could be.

[Matt Connellan]

The Peter Osgood Memorial Shield or something similar sounds like a good idea.

[Bluejim24]

Great idea, Id love to see it, but that plonker Rupert Lowe and his egg chasing sidekick would probably put the brakes on it

[Paul Mcgoochan]

Good idea Saint Phil.

[Broughy]

Be a good idea but when would it be done? Summer pre-season friendly?

[doober]

Yeah great idea Saint Phil. Would love to see it happen.

[CHELSEAFC89]

Yeah, that would be some great stuff
and a good tribute to Ossie

[nona_valente]

Where would it be played? At Southampton's stadium or at Stamford Bridge?

[chelseafaninaustin]

Excellent idea Saint Phil. A pre-season friendly with the Saints would be a fitting tribute to Ossie.

Seeing as he was proclaimed the King of Stamford Bridge we'd obviously want it at our ground. Maybe it could be whoever wins the game hosts the next one.

Southampton Legends vs Chelsea Legends (proper ones though)

then the main event Chelsea vs Southampton

That sounds brilliant.

As regards to where it would be played, I really am not sure. If I had to choose one then it would have to be at the bridge. After all Ossie was king of the bridge. It doesn't really make too much difference as we are both fairly local of each other. After all Ossie was king of the bridge. I know that there would be thousands of saints fans wanting tickets (especially the older generations). And I imagine that there would be the same interest from the chelsea fans.

I am sure our snotty chairman Woopert Lowe will be gone soon. Even if he isn't, I am sure he will not object to an "Ossie tribute game/day".

I really think it is more of an issue with you guys. Mourinho often takes you lads on a pre season tour of the USA, so the game would have to be fitted around that.
