彼得˙博內蒂 1941-2020
2020.04.12
切爾西足球俱樂部今天很悲痛地宣佈，我們歷史上無可爭議的最偉大球員之一彼
得˙博內蒂不幸逝世。這位藍軍前門將長期以來一直與病魔進行抗爭。切爾西全體同
仁希望向彼得的家人和朋友致以最誠摯和深切的慰問。

博內蒂在1960年代和1970年代是一位超級明星門將。雖然對守門員這個位置來說
博內蒂身材相對矮小，但他充滿魅力，在技術上富有創造力，並且藝高人膽大。他被
球迷暱稱為“靈貓 (The Cat)”，是切爾西黃金一代的重要成員。
在我們一些非常重要的比賽中，他為球隊鎮守最後一道防線。50年前的4月份，
在1970年足總盃決賽對陣利茲聯的重賽中，我們受傷的門將，以及他超人般封堵利茲
聯射門的動作，是那場著名的比賽標誌性的圖片。那場比賽在英國有超過2800萬的電
視觀眾，創造當時的紀錄。

安息，博內蒂！
在多赫蒂的那支藍軍中，博內蒂開始成為球隊的基石球員之一，而他在塞克斯頓
麾下真正大發光芒。讓切爾西球迷感到驕傲的是，那支球隊中的大部分球員出自俱樂
部的青年計畫。
他在18歲的時候便完成切爾西首秀，這非常適合一位偉大的球員，而從那時開始
他就朝著這個目標一路前進。
20年中，切爾西門將的球衣都穿在一位非常熟悉的，喜歡將綠色的衣袖半擼起來
的人身上。博內蒂創造的大部分切爾西門將零封和奪冠的紀錄僅僅在過去幾年才被超
越。他是我們歷史上出場次數第二多的球員，在俱樂部很多的第一次中，博內蒂都站
在球門之間，並且仍然是我們歷史上最成功的本土門將。
他“靈貓”的暱稱最初來自隊友隆˙廷達爾 (Ron Tindall)，但很快因為他的冷
靜和優雅的動作而在切爾西和全世界得到認可。

博內蒂因為他創新的守門藝術而在足球界出名。儘管身高不足6英呎，但他出擊
果斷，勇於對抗，能夠在禁區內摘下各種高球。正是他打破常規，喜歡用手將球拋傳
給隊友，而不是大腳開到前場。
也是他率先發現園藝手套在冬天的時候接容易打滑的皮球時的作用，這讓他的彼
得˙博內蒂品牌專業手套成為第一款此類商品，並且大獲成功，不僅深受英國的孩子
的喜愛，而且很多頂級賽場的門將也喜歡佩戴。具有超前思維的彼得後來成為俱樂部
的第一位守門員教練。
那些有幸看到傳奇的博內蒂踢比賽的球迷肯定會記住他很多偉大的撲救，但最為
特別的是1970年的足總盃奪冠和一年之後在歐洲優勝者盃上折桂。除此之外，當我們
第一次獲得淘汰賽制盃賽冠軍 — 1965年聯賽盃的時候，博內蒂也是球隊的門將。

He was born in nearby Putney but did most of his growing up and learning
football outside of London on the Sussex coast. Following his successful
Chelsea trial, he started on the same day as Bobby Tambling, Terry
Venables and others who would establish themselves in the Swinging 60s
side.
After a year in the juniors and a brief taste of reserve team football, he
made his debut against Manchester City in April 1960. The Blues had lost
our previous three matches, conceding 10 goals in the process, but now ran
out 3-0 winners. It was the first of 208 clean sheets Bonetti kept during
his time as Chelsea goalkeeper.
Still eligible for the Juniors, he dropped back down to help them win the
FA Youth Cup before the season was out – that was a Chelsea first too.
Bonetti was a fundamental figure in all the club's achievements during the
1960s and 1970s. In the penultimate game of the 1962/63 season, away at
Sunderland and with promotion at the first time of asking for Docherty's
fledgling side in the balance, he made a brilliant last-minute save to
preserve a crucial 1-0 lead.
In the 1965 League Cup final against Leicester City, the Blues had edged a
tight first leg at home and in the return at Filbert Street, Bonetti made
a succession of stops as the home side, seeking parity in the tie, put us
under intense pressure. They failed, our goalkeeper succeeded, the second
leg ended goalless and we had our hands on silverware.

An acrobatic save to deny Spurs in the FA Cup in 1965
In 1966 Bonetti was Chelsea's one representative in the England squad at
the World Cup on home soil, but with Gordon Banks the first choice and
injury-free throughout, he remained unused by Alf Ramsey.
Only the 11 players on the pitch at the end of the final against West
Germany were eligible to receive medals. However, thanks to an FA-led
campaign many years later that persuaded FIFA to reward every squad
member, Bonetti was presented with a medal by Gordon Brown, the Prime
Minister, at Downing Street in 2009.
But for the rich crop of goalies at the time, and especially the
durability of Banks, Peter would have played many more times for his
country. In his first six international appearances he conceded just one
goal.
It was a mark of the man that the enduring thorn in his side was humbly
tolerated. Game seven for England was a World Cup quarter-final in 1970
with Banks incapacitated by food poisoning.
Though Bonetti acknowledged being at fault for the first goal conceded as
West Germany recovered from two goals down to win, he shouldered an unfair
proportion of the national blame for the defeat when the game had changed
after Ramsey's controversial substitutions of Bobby Charlton and Martin
Peters.

Cup-winning squad
Peter deserved a much better legacy on the international stage. One of
those who watched Bonetti in his prime, Pele, got it right. 'The three
greatest goalkeepers I have ever seen are Gordon Banks, Lev Yashin and
Peter Bonetti,' commented the Brazil superstar.
Chelsea fans knew ribbing from opposition supporters was unjust but it
emphasised Bonetti's strength of mind that it never affected his
confidence, and he quickly followed that World Cup by winning his second
trophy with Chelsea, the 1971 European Cup Winners' Cup which followed on
from our maiden FA Cup a year before.
Bonetti had already been in goal at Wembley in 1967 for Chelsea's first FA
Cup final at the national stadium. That was lost but when our team, now
managed by Sexton, returned there to face Leeds United in 1970, on a
surface far from conducive to good goalkeeping, Bonetti was important in
keeping the country's most physically dominant side at bay with the game
locked at 2-2 and into extra-time.
At Old Trafford in the replay, he produced one of the most memorable
goalkeeping performances in FA Cup final history. Early in the match he
suffered an injury to his left knee when clattered by centre-forward Mick
Jones. An awkward landing left him struggling to even walk properly and
this was a time before substitute goalkeepers. He would have to finish the
half virtually on one leg.
When Jones scored to give Leeds the advantage shortly afterwards the Blues
were up against it. The Leeds forwards targeted Bonetti at every
opportunity. There was an agonising wait for our supporters, most of whom
were packed into the Stretford End, after the outfielders returned from
the changing room for the second half with our keeper delayed inside for a
pain-killing injection.

A flying save from The Cat in the 1971 Cup Winners' Cup
After he emerged to their audible relief, he defied the odds to make save
after save with Osgood equalising and David Webb bundling in his famous
extra-time winner. Bonetti played the full 120 minutes of the
breath-taking and bruising contest.
Each upfield kick – never his strong point – seemed mighty and
Herculean. Every athletic dive and grab amid a spiky skirmish a blow for
the good man against the bullies. The victory created countless new
supporters, and brave, stylish Bonetti was one of the chief recruiters.
The victory would not have been possible had it not been for his
outstanding bravery in putting his body on the line. When there appeared
he had no more to give, he would produce another save to keep Leeds at bay.
靈貓因為整個賽季高水準的表現，在1969/70賽季年度最佳球員評選中獲得第二。
他還是1967年切爾西第一位年度最佳球員獎項得主，兩年之後，在一項球迷投票中被
評為俱樂部最偉大球員。
The European Cup Winners' Cup followed the FA Cup win, with Bonetti
overcoming pneumonia in time to play Real Madrid in Chelsea's first
European final. Again it took two games to win the trophy and though not
as busy as against Leeds, our goalie repeated his feat at Sunderland
almost a decade earlier when he pulled off an outstanding late save to
maintain a decisive single-goal lead.

50年前的這個月進行的1970年足總盃決賽是博內蒂最偉大的比賽之一
A team which had won two trophies in as many years also finished third and
sixth respectively in the league. It was the high-water mark for Bonetti
and that much-loved team. Few older players would survive the rebuilding
to come, but Peter again proved himself indispensable.
By 1975 the club was in low water financially and in terms of form.
Bonetti had begun playing more for the reserves than the first team, so he
spent the summer in America at the St Louis Stars. He returned to the
Bridge anticipating a free transfer but with his replacement floundering,
he was quickly restored to the starting 11.
He was now the source of experience in a largely youthful and homegrown
Chelsea side which secured promotion back to the top flight in 1977. Two
years later Bonetti announced his retirement, although a brief spell with
Dundee followed, and he could not be kept from his beloved Fulham Road for
long.
Even when he was still playing for the club he had begun to coach the
younger goalkeepers in an era when there were no such specialist coaches.
In 1983 he rejoined as our first dedicated goalkeeper coach, and how the
Shed enjoyed chanted his name again and receiving a response when he came
out to warm-up Eddie Niedzwiecki before each game, a ritual the Cat and
his fans had started way back in the 1960s. There was always a strong
connection between Bonetti and the Chelsea support.
He continued in the role into the 1990s and also worked with the England
national team including at Italia '90, before coaching at other clubs.
https://i.imgur.com/Jkpl0Am.jpg
But Bonetti is woven into the very fabric of Chelsea Football Club and he
continued to serve us superbly in the later years of his life as a
charming and knowledgeable matchday host in the hospitality areas at the
stadium, one of which carries his name. As fit as any outfielder during
his playing days, he appeared in goal for the Chelsea Old Boys team well
into his 60s.
他在職業生涯中一共為切爾西出場729次。只有他的隊長隆˙哈里斯代表俱樂部
出場次數更多。彼得保持的切爾西門將零封紀錄直到2014年1月才被切赫打破。這兩
位歷史上最偉大的門將也是惺惺相惜，互相極為尊重。
博內蒂在切爾西足球殿堂中的地位是不可替代的。他就是那只在斯坦福橋總是能
夠出人意料、給球迷帶來窒息感覺、贏得喝彩和歡呼的靈貓。
