Chelsea hero Ron 'Chopper' Harris insists Sunday's training ground bust-up shouldn't be overblown.
The Blues hit the news on Sunday when it was revealed Antonio Rudiger and Kepa Arrizabalaga clashed in training and had to be pulled apart.
Harris, an uncompromising right-back who made a record 795 Blues appearances, told The Sun: “In my time if you were playing five-a-side you would always get somebody step over the mark and there'd be a bit of pushing and shoving.
“When I played in five-a-side or friendly matches I'd just want to win. My dad drilled into me you get nothing for being second best.
“Ossie was one of these lads that was very competitive and played the same in training as he would on Saturday.
“I'm sure central defenders who played against Ossie would all say that apart from the fantastic ability, he had a bit of nastiness in him.
“Nobody took liberties with him.
“I knew if I got in nice and early and caught somebody and they accepted it, I was in for an easy time.
“But Joe Jordan or Andy Lochhead at Burnley at the time would give you as good as they got and you'd be a little bit dubious doing it."
Harris, employed by Chelsea in hospitality, insisted bust-ups were still going to happen regularly.
He added: “If you had someone at training grounds every day you'd fill the back pages up every day of the week!
“You want people who are winners, not ones just going through the motions in training."
