Attack/Defence Awareness Card: Attack-MindedInfosBobby Tambling (born 18 September 1941) was Chelsea's all-time top scorer for 47 years, with 202 goals in all competitions until Frank Lampard surpassed this total on 11 May 2013. Tambling remains Chelsea's all-time top scorer in league competition with 164 goals.
After Chelsea’s relegation to the Second Division, Tommy Docherty made him Captain in 1962 and he became the youngest captain to lead a team to promotion. With the addition of players such as Terry Venables and Peter Bonetti, Chelsea immediately returned to the First Division and began challenging for honours. In 1965 he was a member of the team which won the 1965 Football League Cup Final.
Tambling was an adept, skillful forward whose major asset was his instinct which led to the perfect timing of his runs into and inside the box which, when coupled with deadly finishing ability, resulted in 202 goals in 370 appearances for his club.
