Ultimate Zola Thread

[cantkeepmedown 57]

I'm making compilations of each season of Zola at Chelsea. All his goals and assists. I'll post each season as soon as it's done. Here's his first season, and the season he won the Football Writers' Footballer of the Year Award. First player to win it without playing a full season.

Currently uploading his second season. I'll post it here once it's done. Feel free to request any Zola goal at Chelsea. I'll post them

Thanks All his free kicks at Chelsea are in this video. Along with some classic free kicks during his days in Italy.

SUPERB work mate

His goal against Everton at the Bridge in 02/03, that lob? My favourite ever goal!

[cantkeepmedown 57]

Thanks, mate. Here's that goal

His final goal for us. If only he was still playing. We could definitely use a creative player like him. Especially if he was playing behind Drogba and Torres. They would be served on a plate to score.

Wish he'd come back as an assistant coach already. He knows Italian, he commands respect and he loves the club.. Kind of reminds me of some other coach we used to have

Great thread, absolute genius of a signing at 30. This is undoubtedly my favourite Zola goal. Fuck did i go mental when that went in.

I was at that game!! I even met Johnny Vaughan that day as well!

He produced soo many lobs for Chelsea. I remember one specific goal he scored against Middlesbrough! Absolute genious!

I think that was just due to his time at Parma. He wasn't really appreciated there and didn't have the best time,

mainly due to being stuck out on the wing most of the time by our very own Carlo Ancelotti.

Anyway, Ruud knew what he was buying and the rest is history!

We all remember this one,
