chelsea...although many are not great fan of chelsea...but in my opinion there is sumone with a special talent...Gianfranco Zola....!! not great fan of him but i do like to see him playing...

he started his career playing in italy..with Napoli..and dat time he played alongside Diego Maradona and Careca(Brazilian striker)...In 1993, Zola left Napoli and joined fellow Serie A side Parma..he won the UEFA cup with Parma in 1995..and that time the team cemented his reputation as a creative player...

in 1996..he joined Chelsea for £4.5 mil.Made his debut against Tottenham Hotspur..in his debut season he showed to all the fans notable performances and scored a series of memorable goals...wow dude....

in 1997...he did it again..he sprint the ball around Manchester United's defence in the penalty area before slotting the ball past goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel...and our Ferguson described him as a "clever little so-and-so" and he help chelsea won the FA Cup with a 2–0 win over Middlesbrough at Wembley...

In 1997-98 he helped Chelsea win three more trophies, the League Cup, the Cup Winners' Cup and the Super Cup....In November 2004, he was awarded an OBE - Honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire in a special ceremony in Rome...fuiyo...

On 9 September 2008, Zola agreed a three-year contract to manage West Ham United...and he quickly gained the backing of the fans and after a shaky start began to develop a side with a flair not seen in a West Ham side for some years...

now,let see his Individual Playing Honours
