[jueijalearn]

messi of chelsea

[FibrousAcquiescence]

Miss the old Chelsea :(

[pirats81]

maradona + pelè=gianfranco zola

[UkZeLiiTe]

The First ever Chelsea shirt i bought when i was just 7 in the 99/00 season i had number 25 Zola printed on the back. =]

and why do people just say he was one of chelsea's greatest players, he was one of the Worlds greatest. Right up there with the very best !!

[digitalbath84]

Legend. Absolute Legend. Touch, finess, technique, grace & above all being a humble guy, Zola, the legend, had it all. He joined Chels wen i was 13 & he was the player i'd emulate in school football! We'll always miss that smile down at Stamford Bridge - We love ya 'Franco

[GreygreyTheGrey]

this vid makes me want to post ""rip zola" gone but never 4gotten!!!

[UnknownGenius01]

Anyone know the tune from 6:40?

[motiv1984]

maradona school...grande gianfranco...hai contribuito al nostro secondo scudetto fino al ritorno del pibe,un grande campione.Se quel cglione di sacchi ti avesse fatto giocare la finale mondiale 1994 adesso avremmo un titolo in più.Sei la dimostrazione che gli inglesi si innamorano dei veri campioni e dei veri uomini.

[illyrianfighter666]

This man made me a Chelsea fan ,back in 1998 as 6 year old kid i watched this guy play and i knew he was special,and in that time nobody knew Chelsea and i waited a long time my favorite team to become one of the top teams in the world, now I'm 19 and I'm Still Chelsea to the bone, and I'll be forever. Thank u Zola.

[DeMoNicCoMpuTar]

@illyrianfighter666 but chelsea wasn't that great this season :( I hope next season they will rape the hell out of the other teams :)

[7Laity]

@illyrianfighter666 same!

[1981pinuccio]

[twisted1920]

[runtinsweet]

Zola made my childhood a happy one! Zola forever!

[giessino01]

Excellent player, great smile, and a great man. An example for eveyone, one of the best of every time.

We were lucky.

[PaRtib0i]

[UnknownGenius01]

@PaRtib0i

[calaco74123]

aaaa no mames pinche video tan mas chingon que has hecho para mi es uno de mis idoslo gianfranco zola viva gianfranco zola

[slovikstudio]

Zola mhm........ :)

[arponaco]

Zola come to Chelsea!

[didomidox]

What's the name of the music in the first 19 seconds ??????????

[PatrickMcNutley]

When he left chelsea it was one of the saddest days. and i was only about 7 or 8 and i knew that he was the greatest player of my time, forget messi and ronaldo, this man was a gentleman of the game and played with grace opposing to playing with ego

[mestament]

CAMPIONE

[magdad9]

what's the music in first soconds of this film ??

[griffin2421]

It players like Zola that make me hate wankers like C. Ronaldo. He is a man amongst boys, a god amongst men. What a true footballer should be

[ronaldogodmagic]

great video

[MattiaSanta]

there are a lot of underrated players in history of football... zola was the most underrated for sure. I think he is one of the best players ever.

[aertev]

immensoZola!!!!

[LifeU2Form]

super dude, great job

[crazymanrameswaren]

anyone know the first song?

[Druze5]

@crazymanrameswaren it's lifehouse- you and me ;)

zola is the best Go chelsea..

[UnknownGenius01]

This could make an adult cry. Zola is an inspiration and a perfect role model to kids. Unlike that cheating, whining and overrated Cristina Gaynaldo.

[NickGPWin1989]

Gianfranco was a genius, he was maybe the nicest footballer you would ever meet, humble and would pass the ball even though he was one of the greatest Chelsea ever had, only Lampard comes close and if he could lead Chelsea to a CL he could retire Chelsea's greatest player

[tonyhgv]

ZOLA great player,great person.....RESPECT! (spurs fan)

[gammanick]

my god that is beautiful...

I am Sardinian, and I have been leaving in London from when Zola Arrived.. He was my favorite in Italy ... and then Chelsea ... what a magnificent years ...

[juZby]

Zola is undoubtedly the greatest Chelsea player of all time, and in my personal opinion the greatest player to ever grace the Premier League.

I had the pleasure of meeting him on a golf course a couple of months ago and he was genuinely the nicest man, signed my West Ham shirt without even having to ask him. I can only wish him the best. He'll be better off without this atrociously run club up his arse. Thank you Franco.

[joniqitu]

"25"

[andrewlee916]

whats the name of the song?

[spreadfear93]

damn..this guy is prbly the greatest chelsea player ever..even till date...and rightly so...

there's prbly no player in the squad today as good as him....

[ilquartino86]

from the Italy honor for the magic box

[amorporadriana]

MARAZZOLA ETERNO

[brokobanton]

that was special!

[UnknownGenius01]

3:29 ... LMAO! That defender was like "WTF? Where did he go?"

And before he knew it, Zola scored.

[Desmund89]

Someone can say me how is the football player at 5.14/5.16? (The first football player) thanks.

[Jackie2k]

wow what a great video

[LAMPARDIO]

That almost made me cry!!! omg

GREAT video

[123hoythere]

wats the song in this?

[marxistsoldier]

i was at the match when zola flicked it up for poyet. :DDDD

[LAMPARDIO]

@marxistsoldier Lucky man.

[andrewlee916]

go zola...

[serappia]

zola the chauvinist little prick

[marxistsoldier]

chauvinist? he is a nice man, everyone knows that u stupid moron.

[serappia]

@marxistsoldierTWIT, and i'm telling he's a chauvinist super

little prick you idiot.

[marxistsoldier]

grow up little boy

[serappia]

And you shut your gob!

[nemo12degraff]

zola is the perfect footballer, he had unbelievable touch and was one of the most modest blokes to ever lace up in the history of football

[griffin2421]

@nemo12degraff could not of said ti better myself

[FetalMetalRicky82]

Great tribute to a great champion!

[bhcandaswp]

You can have him back as coach.Trouble is Chelsea fans dont appreciate what they have ..Ian Wright was right right right.Probably the most ungreatful fans in the premiership.

[dezontk]

Zola.. I don't think you could find a nicer, and more skilled footballer.

[darthhideous8]

I hope he comes back to Chelsea. Maybe not as coach ,Ancelotti is doing well.

[joecolecfc]

who do you think was better zola or cantona

[MATTEZ88]

zola is better! it's difficult fin a football player in his role better than zola

[aBLINKtoTHEpast]

don you even have to make such a question? The answer is as obvious, Cantona is not even worthed a single foot of Zola

[unkn0wngenius]

An absolute legend and a genius. Yet sooooo humble and respectful at the same time. A rare gem!

[SyXx0r]

Zola is the best! He's a Legend...

[chestyfalla]

zola is a champion

[IndianaJoel93]

he came to us at 30 and left at 37, and he was better than most players 10 years younger, legend, a great guy and a great player

[Salmo77]

best Zola's video!!! Great Job!

[okipay]

a complete legend i love the guy he's such a nice fella, even tho he is chelsea legend if he had gone to barcelona bak then or united he would of had the reputation tht messi has now(not ronaldo because he's a prik) or even zidane.. thts jus wat i think tho

[allankles]

True. In his time Zola was considered one of the best players in European football.

So you're spot on when you say he would have been a legend in just about any team in England or Spain.

[SuperThano]

We signed the "The Magic Box " for £4.5 m. A player like Gianfranco would be PRICELESS nowadays...how things have changed! A true Chelsea Legend. Thanks for the memories Gianfranco (",)

[ronaldinho91]

He plays so much like maradona except he's got two feet. Maradona taught him alot at napoli

[coerenza1907]

Italians have always played well in England, for example, Paolo Di Canio ... but Zola are 'the best.....zola the legend

[rectifiedspirit]

Brilliant compilation. Thank you. I remember crying when I heard Zola was leaving... I love JT, Lamps, Drogs and the lot but there will only be one Zola...

[princebham]

he is a chelsea legend

[Cl3rig0]

q gran jugador sobre todo en la epoca del chelsea marco el gol decisivo en la recopa del 98 mmm en fin en los pero en estas 2 años se perdio la final de la champions pero lo mas doloroso es como le roban el juego contra el barcelona 4 penaltys no sancionados.

[Thologrown]

fantastic work man. . .

[davidsuazo27]

the best players

[marum88]

grammar in this video is awful.

brilliant footage

[kingdaveydave]

all about skinning three liverpool players by the cornerflag. so good

[kuhen25]

This video is great, mate. Fantastic.

But there's some errors though. That wondergoal against Norwich was NOT in his last season.

And also your commentary text for the goal in the cup final was wrong many times.

But still, best Zola video I've ever seen. Thanks for making this!

[zzkasteddu]

Gianfranco Zola, semplicemente fantastico!! ....Forza CAGLIARI!

[J15Productions]

The one and only !

[eddioarddio]

grande zola!!!!! aiooooo

[ebdb8]

gianfranco left a hole in the world football scene...I saw him playing in an amatorial football contest in my city few years ago and he was absolutely THE genius of football..I'm proud to be from your own land Gianfranco!

[coerenza1907]

grande gianfranco, l'italia ti adora

[Huntarh]

[...]ZOLA et! Chelsea pout tjr [...]

[Huntarh]

Oh My God j'adore cette vidéo c'est l'une des plu belle que j'ai pu voir sur le foot et pui elle est faite pour ZOLA et pour Chelsea!

LAMPARD is the god of football

[Bobbie112870]

Bobbie

FOREVER Chelsea!!

[JuanEspana10]

legendd.

[Simo90]

this is a great video, congratulations Esio, 5/5!

[snip3r84]

congratulations....m8...this is very fantastic video..i come from sardinia..and i am chelsea fan..i have big respect for the British people..that always loved gianfranco.... thx alot....cmon chelsea....

[unknowngenius1]

Mate, great video.. But lots of error in the texts for that goal in the cup final.

It's "interception" not "in the subtion"

"Zola's through" not "Zola throw"

"Worthy of winning" not "maybye winnnig"

Not to sound like a grammar critic. But Zola is a perfect player, the text should have matched him.

Zola and Henry are the reason I love the Premier League. Until that nancy boy Cristina Gaynaldo came and destroyed it with her diving.

[DrogbaMBT]

and i cant believe gaynaldo is a nominee for sporting icon! is that what sport is all about!? espn have lost their brains!!!

[CWDaviesProductionsK]

What a rare comp. Fantastic mate !

[EvertonRotterdam]

Very nice vid.

[JelleKDordt]

Brilliant mate! Thank you! He is a legend, best chelsea player ever! 5/5!

[badmanduttyno1]

where did u come?

[EliteStr1ker]

i memeber this guy lol. i bought him on pes!

[KingOsgoodNZ]

well,i remember him as being a humble man, and a great player, very powerfull for his small stature, diving?hell no, he was brilliant, i know i am saying a lot, but really, the man does deserve it, he will always be in the hearts and minds of long time Chelsea fans.

[badmanduttyno1]

one of the best players to ever play in the prem and im a utd fan
