The Legacy

Ruud Gullit added Gianluca Vialli to his squad, joining the existing core of Gianfranco Zola and Dennis Wise. Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League and won both the League Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup. The team navigated a hectic schedule throughout 1997-1998, moving from Ruud Gullit to Gianluca Vialli as player-manager mid-season. Umbro manufactured these home shirts, which prominently displayed the Autoglass sponsor across the front. The side became a consistent feature in the upper reaches of the table during this time.

Key Moment

Chelsea's 1-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart in the 1998 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final in Stockholm.
