The Legacy

Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League in 1997-1998, securing a spot in the following season's Champions League. Umbro produced this away kit as the club achieved success in both the League Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Gianfranco Zola and Gianluca Vialli led the attack, while Roberto Di Matteo and Frank Leboeuf anchored the spine of the side under Ruud Gullit and later Gianluca Vialli. The Autoglass sponsorship defined the look of the shirts worn throughout a busy schedule of domestic and European fixtures.
