One of the best players to ever appear in the Premier League arrived on these shores on this date in 1996, when Chelsea completed the deal to bring Gianfranco Zola to Stamford Bridge.
The Italian wizard signed for £4.5million from Parma - a relative bargain given how he propelled Chelsea to the top of the English game.
The Blues' trophy drought ended when Zola arrived in West London, with them winning two FA Cups, a League Cup, a Charity Shield, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Super Cup with the Italian spearheading their attack.
