[Aidinovic]

A wonderful, wonderful representative of the beautiful game.

From a Gooner

[kees15271527]

[DoneByMrD]

Whatever video i go on, theres pages full of hate and arguments, whenever i go on one of zolas videos, there are no arguments.

[TBRHkyle]

you aint grizz baby

[R9Rai]

wow

[31cify]

What the Hell? Absolutely extraordinary

[JmenoAsso]

ITALIANS DO IT BETTER

[SteRDLK]

Not as good as John O'Shea's versus Copenhagen! ;)

[glenclosed]

@SteRDLK

ahahahaha get da fuck !!!

[iamwildy]

Gilla om svenskafans tog dig hit!

Zola is the best!

[Supernich14]

Not takin anything away at all from the finish put i kinda like the celebration better ! :)

[04797698]

0:17 Zola hits Le Saux in the face LOL

[dumaramutsi]

even more beautiful than the goal, was when he picks up the fan from the floor and gave him a hug! what a lovely player and person :)

[glenclosed]

@dumaramutsi

THAT WAS ME !!!!!!!!!!!

[gecomaman]

@dumaramutsi it was the asst man you idiots lol

[TheRemixKidUK]

Loving all the Chelsea fans commenting who have only been fans since 2003 ;)

[MrHellYeah8]

how did this not beat di canio for best goal?

[Dubi95]

1 fan norwich ;)

[ondasuondaable]

in this clip video you can see the differences between true MAN of the past and today's cristiano ronaldo e co..

not because of the beauty of the goal but for the humbleness showed during his celebration

[ianhitman]

I'm a United fan, but fuck me. I cant stop watching this, and its been almost a decade since I first seen it.

[DbzNaruto1527]

its because of u chelsea have changed

[rudebwoy8]

Form is temporary, class is permanent

Zola is a special man, thank you for these memories Gianfranco

[shuguy007]

making a wonderful finish out of a crappy corner. Thats skill right there

[TheFriedEgg]

@shuguy007 Haha yeah, terrible corner, genius finish. Such quick and clever thought.

[glenclosed]

@shuguy007

I don't think it was a crap corner, if you watch how Franco started his run it looks like they had planned a near post corner.

This is Zola we're talking about here don't forget!

[Jarren202]

West Ham should definitely have given him another season as manager.

It could hardly have went worse that it already has for the Hammers...

[bigphil555]

i think van nistelrooy is missing from those lists. in his prime at man u, jesus

[pyrotekniks63]

Still my favourite all time goal and still my favourite all time player. Could never get bored watching this goal. Could have used some magic like that against Sunderland last weekend!

[carterj25]

genuinely hugging the fan - what a lovely bloke, what a player

[bcfc473]

What shit commentating lol

[mufcevo]

Must respect for Zola.

[ant200423]

top goal from a top guy, even helps a fan back on his feet and gives him a hug, you wouldnt see that from any other player today

[ant200423]

[fastertortoise2]

the little genius



[24thebomb]

non sapevo che lampard avesse giocato con zola

[cozzee]

Sure he didnt have the best of times in West Ham, but they should've let him get another season.

With Scott Parker running across half the field just to hug Zola when he scored against Wigan says alot about what the team felt for him before the chairmen fired him.

I hope Avram Grant crash and burn.

[vascobeatlesmilanyes]

lui è di oliena.......è sardo cazz....gianfranconeeee

[ak47thugg]

He is an absolute legend and that is an understatement. He scores one of the best goals ever, whilst celebrating he picks up a fan that falls down and hugs him then goes of. Absolute legend on the pitch and off the pitch.

[Jimbo2Step]

I was there

[Taratuff]

GREAT

[nordinrush]

when gullit introduce zola in 1996 to chelsea from pharma,he is the person who change the team in to one of the best in europe and the one to beat. thank you zola! chelsea was nothing without you.

[kokololoforever]

he is just brilllliiiiaaannnntt, watch n njoy pal

[pleaseiwantapass]

le saux felt the mighty right hand of zola the conquerer

[poosmum123]

Abolute legend. Gave the fan a hug aswell, if that was someone like malouda or anelka they wouldn't of even gone near the fan! Zola is true class

[CFCcelery119]

There is not another player that could do that. Sure in training, but the great thing is that Zola meant to do that. Surely one of the best to ever have graced the premier league. His class is without equal which is why he is so beloved by all football fans red and blue alike.

[kingofpop1569]

The best goal i ever saw

[Angel1405]

A unique goal

one of the best in football history

[UnknownGenius01]

No other player alive or dead would have scored that.

[ptrucc83]

zola...best player of chelsea's history!!!

[thugly921]

zola is a chelsea legend

[blm1990]

Absolute genius and, having met him a couple of times, an absolute top bloke as well.

[chelseacfc100]

COME ON CHELSEA!! Love the fan who ran the pitch to hug him

[hendrixxx1]

Special,just special!!!!

[76Shay]

Poor Rob Green in the Norwich goal!

[clockendboy]

Definitely top 5 of the best to play in the Premier League.

[Fcuck09]

Top 5 in Prem League:

Zola

Bergkamp

Beckham

Henry

Drogba ^^

[UnknownGenius01]

1. Zola/Henry

3. Bergkamp

4. Cantona

5. Giggs (can be disputed)

[SuperYellafella]

bloody alex notman, if only you'd had of stayed with zola we might of had a chance.

[shaniz11]

Zola is a great legend and a great person :)

[CFCcelery119]

whatever you say, you cannot beat that class, technique or finish. Zola is king, Chelsea till i die

[dothehonours]

@CFCcelery119 well then i hope your drop fucking dead

[CFCcelery119]

@dothehonours Im not sure where you're going with this, you say I should drop dead for complimenting one of the best foreign imports in English league history. You will have to explain yourself because I don't remember asking for some malcontent's opinion. Thanks.

[reynolds2006]

Possibly the best player to ever bless the sport

[JamboProductionsTV]

Best goal in English football. Hands down. Hopefully he will turn out to be a good manager. Coming from a hopeful West Ham fan!

[unkn0wngenius]

One of, if not *THE BEST* ever to play in the Premier League.

[ZX7Kevin]

I´m a Norwich fan, and was at this game. Despite that, this is the greatest goal I have ever seen, from one of the greatest players ever. Total respect for the little magician.

[XxdolldollxX]

@unkn0wngenius ryan giggs and scholes and solskjaer best to play in the prem

[Lycerate]

@XxdolldollxX gtfo manc

[25GianfrancoZola25]

@XxdolldollxX

You know nothing about football clearly.

[ShearerNufc1995]

@unkn0wngenius Shearer was better, but Zola was fantastic.
