Shit yes .... I remember that (even though I wasn't a Chelsea fan back then, not even a fan actually ...)

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I hardly remember it - I was only five at the time! But the 1997-2000 era was probably just as exciting a period as the current adventure under Abramovich. Some (only a few, sadly, I can barely remember that far back) wonderful memories for us all.

Jesus I was 18, How quickly time flies...

I couldn't believe it when that goal went in, Zola - Proper legend.

Used to love watching him at the bridge, a talent I think only Hazard has the ability to equal and maybe exceed.

Good times, but what's amazing about that team was how many went on to be either managers or coaches.

GK 1 Ed de Goey RWB 2 Dan Petrescu 85' CB 5 Frank Leboeuf CB 6 Steve Clarke CB 12 Michael Duberry LWB 17 Danny Granville CM 11 Dennis Wise (c) 25' CM 16 Roberto Di Matteo AM 8 Gustavo Poyet 81' ST 9 Gianluca Vialli ST 19 Tore André Flo 71' Substitutes: GK 13 Kevin Hitchcock DF 18 Andy Myers DF 26 Laurent Charvet MF 28 Jody Morris MF 24 Eddie Newton 81' FW 10 Mark Hughes FW 25 Gianfranco Zola 71' Player-Manager: Gianluca Vialli

By my count there's about 9 managers and 3 coaches from that lot including 2 Chelsea managers and 2 Chelsea coaches.

Hazard is very similar with the low centre of gravity -but this is unique and I dont think can be equalled

I didn't see this when it first happened but I've seen that video numerous times. What a player, surely the most talented player Chelsea have ever had. Hazard will be the closest to rival him in terms of sheer ability I feel.

- Against Liverpool

- Last game of the season

- His last game for us

- The game that got us into the Champions League, secured our future and brought in Roman

Fantastic.

This was pretty good as well :

Ferguson after the game called him ' a clever little so-and-so'

You are so right, I remember that we'll. Just watched that 5 times lol.

Still my favourite Chelsea player of all time (along with Frank) One of the reasons is I had never experienced a player like that at Chelsea, and to be honest didn't think we ever would, how times have changed.

It was a time when United had Cantona (the 2nd best foreigner to grace our shores in my opinion) and we had a player even better, I still remember boasting to my united mates that Zola was out selling Cantona shirts lol, sad but that was the only ammo I had at the time, apart from we always used to win at Old Trafford.

Would you be a darling and put up the clip of Zola walking around the united defence, palister, Bruce I think and score past Schmeichl, near side post. You know the one. sorry I don't know how.

It's was like time stood still for the united defence, and all they could do was watch the genius walk past them. Nothing they could do.

It was quite surreal, I remember thinking that the referee had blown for something so everyone stopped apart from Zola.

Fucking brilliant, pardon my language.

[Chels 238]

Lol, jumped the gun.

Should of read all before posting.

Well done Madmax have a like.

That's a very good point. Wise was once talking about the 97 FA Cup win and made the exact same point. They were an incredible group of smart players with a lot of leadership qualities.
