Gianfranco Zola played 312 games for Chelsea, scoring 80 goals, arguably none more memorable than the only goal of the 1998 European Cup Winners Cup Final in a 1-0 victory against Stuttgart. Injury denied Zola a place in the starting line-up at the Rsunda Stadium in Stockholm but, as a second-half substitute he scored the winning goal after barely 30 seconds on the pitch with only his second touch of the game, from a through ball from Dennis Wise. In early 2003, Zola was voted as the best ever Chelsea player by Chelsea’s fans.
