Overview

John Osborne (1 December 1940 – 7 November 1998) was an English football goalkeeper. He played for Chesterfield, West Bromwich Albion and Shamrock Rovers. Osborne was a member of Albion's great cup side of the late 1960s which played in 5 cup finals from 1966 to 1970, including the 1968 FA Cup final. His nickname was Bionic due to the plastic joint inserted in his finger. He made his Rovers debut at Milltown under his old teammate Johnny Giles on 10 September 1978. He played 3 games in the 1978–79 European Cup Winners' Cup keeping 2 clean sheets giving him a total of 4 appearances for the Hoops. In 2004, he was named as one of West Bromwich Albion's 16 greatest players, in a poll organised as part of the club's 125th anniversary celebrations. Osborne was the commercial manager of Worcestershire County Cricket Club from 1986 to 1995, and played a significant part in the county's signing of long-time major sponsor MEB.

Notable quotes

“Jimmy Porter: They spend their time mostly looking forward to the past.”
— Look Back in Anger, Act II, sc. I (1956)
“George Dillon: [I]t's easy to answer the ultimate questions – it saves you bothering with the immediate ones.”
— Epitaph for George Dillon, Act II (1957)
“This is a letter of hate. It is for you my countrymen, I mean those men of my country who have defiled it. The men with manic fingers leading the sightless, feeble, betrayed body of my country to its death.”
— "A Letter To My Fellow Countrymen", Tribune (18 August 1961), as reprinted in The Independent (4 April 1994).
“Archie Rice: Don't clap too hard – it's a very old building.”
— Number 7; said to have been an old joke in the music-halls at the time the play was written.
“Archie Rice: I'm dead behind these eyes. I'm dead, just like the whole inert, shoddy lot out there. It doesn't matter because I don't feel a thing, and neither do they.”
— Number 8
“Archie Rice: Let me know where you're working tomorrow night and I'll come and see you.”
— Number 13; this, the music-hall entertainer Archie Rice's acid farewell to his audience, also appears on Osborne's gravestone.
