Passed away aged 84.

Such sad news.
He had been suffering with Dementia.
I of course recall him playing for our club in the 70s.
My thoughts go out to all his family and friends.
RIP

Great player for Chelsea, reminded me of Greaves in his goal scoring for them. Was so excited when he signed for us. Wasn’t so good in a Palace shirt but still was great to have him here and he still scored a number of goals for us. RIP Bobby Tambling

Very sad to hear. Remember him well from the 70’s, me and my mates nicknamed him shovel foot as he always seemed to scoop the ball over the bar.

If my memory serves me correctly I believe he scored the winner when we beat Inter Milan at the San Siro stadium during the Anglo Italian tournament in the early 1970’s.

RIP

We might not have seen the best of him but he was an excellent goalscorer at Chelsea and as with anyone who played for the club it's sad to hear.
RIP.

One of the good guys, born not far away from here in Storrington.

Always very sad to read about someone's passing, but he lived a long life. RIP

He may have been in the twilight of his career when he came to Palace, but was still exciting to watch. Condolences to his family.
RIP Bobby

Seeing as I will be 80 in August I'd rather you'd have said "cut down in his prime"

He was great at Chelsea. Probably unlucky not to be in 1966 World Cup squad. I think he won a couple of England caps.

Remember being really excited when he joined Palace, but most of the Chelsea players Palace signed at that time, Charlie Cooke, Paddy Mulligan had already played their best football for the ‘Blues’ before being ‘pensioned’ out to us.

RIP Bobby Tambling.
