I don't think Chelsea in the 90s and early 2000s would be the same if you weren't there! Happy birthday, legend!

Zola and Hasselbaink are my favourite Chelsea players ever! Happy Birthday to ZOLA!
Pity he coundn't get Watford into the PL..

Happy Birthday to club legend Gianfranco Zola :)

You're footballing mind was ahead of it's own time. Your skill and trickery made you look like an artist and the pitch was your canvas. Your 7 years at Chelsea deserves much more recognition.

You truly are a forgotten hero, and the reason I started watching football.

THANK YOU LEGEND.

I Cannot say enough good things about this man but just to give you an idea...
1- Hands down, Chelsea's best ever player
2- Second most elegant footballer I'VE personally ever seen in the PL & probably top 4 in the world.
3- An absolute joy to watch and one of the nice guys
4- The only thing I genuinely admire about Chelsea FC. Hand on my Heart love this guy.

@Foota Don't you miss Bergkamp? I really like him a lot too. I missed all these kind of players. :)

happy birthday, you're the reason why i started supporting Chelsea =)
