hes the reason i am a chelsea supporter since i first watched him play in 2001. Since then i just always supported chelsea even when he left its still my team.
I remember Franco signing for Chelsea and the pundits saying he was 30, over the hill, too expensive and a mercenary seeing his days out on £20,000 a week. Todays current crop including Ronaldo, Torres, Berbatov et al would not be fit to tie Zola's bootlaces. I've supported Chelsea since 1954 and Franco was definitely the best player I've ever seen anywhere. He'll be back.....
Franco loved it at chelsea.He was and still is our best ever player.He is learning his trade at our feeder club, West ham. Cmon Franco ,our next but one manager.
I have been in england for 35 years My team is allways been CAGLIARI because,before anything else I am a Sardinian,but here in lancashire where I live the local team is Blackburn Rovers
and ZOLA scored in Blackburn I was a bit angry because ROVERS lost but very Happy for Gianfranco us Sardinians we are Italians and very proud to be,but been Sardinian is somenthing else we have our own culture and our way of life very different from main land Italy
Sesi sorgogliu de tottu sa Sardigna,ti sentu cummenti e un fradi,su nomini tu oidi nai made in SARDINIA,chi DEUS T'assistada a tia e cussa bella famiglia chi teisi,cummenti de tei non ci desti attrus,ringraziu a chini a postu custu vidiu
1 Italian Serie A title, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 Italian Supercup, 1 Cup Winners' Cup, 1 Worthington Cup, 2 European Supercups, 3 FA Cups, 2 Charity Shields. Only Baggio is better than him.
zola ...un grande ...peccato che in italia non sia stato capito il suo talento...in nazionale meritava molto di piu'...gli inglesi sono stati davvero bravi a portarlo via dall'italia...da noi si sarebbe spento a furia di botte.....grande zola
mi chiedo perchè ancora non si sia fatta una partita di addio in onore di gianfranco zola. magari organizzata con la nazionale. sicuramente il miglior numero 10, insieme a baggio, degli ultimi 15 anni e senza le sponsorizzazioni dei media come avviene, invece, x altri giocatori italiani e stranieri
English you kneel down to the Sardinian player and one of the strongest Italians!! You are the best Gianfra... Cagliari Force!! c we see to the training!!
What a pity! Gianfranco could make much more of his Talent especially with national Team. But he hadn't the lobby other players had. Chelsea supporters will allways love him. He was not only a great player but a great man in and out of the field and he still is.
I was a steward at Chelsea in the 2002 2003 season.He was a really talented player, I remember his last game clearly against Liverpool in May 2003.Shortly after the Russian Mafia purchased the club!
Just the premiership?? In my opinion, the best player ever to grace the earth!! =] The day that Zola left Chelsea was the worst day ever for the club!
Cladio Ranieri was not an idiot, Zola made a promise to Caliagri and like a true gentleman he kept his word. A true legend.
And Ranieri may not have won any trophies but he isnt our worst manager ever. One of our greatest European nights was when he was manager. Higbury 2004 enough said.
Well his contract was up and we couldnt afford to offer him a new one or something along those lines (this was before Abramovich took over).
Zola agreed to join Caliagri, Roman took over shortly after and offered him a bumper contract to try and get him to stay. But he'd already agreed to join Caliagri and he kept the agreement and went off to play for them.
Sorry to burt your bubbles about the music.lol. Seems too me you don't know who Gainfranco Zola was!! ok i'll tell you then!! He is the best chelsea player ever to wear the blue shirt and who graced Stamford Bridge, also when we signed ZOLA in november 1996 which cost us (chelsea) around £4.1million at the age of 30 and he was the legendary footballer who ever scored 30 goals a season until he left us in 2003 aged 36.
He (ZOLA) is my favourite ever chelsea player of all he is a legend.
In the mid 90s, was once voted ugliest player
