His signing of Gianluca Vialli, Gianfranco Zola and Roberto Di Matteo gave Chelsea a European sophistication that their attendances and ambition had been searching for, and the 1997 FA Cup triumph over Middlesbrough was the reward for that approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGullit's Chelsea chapter was brief — his sacking in February 1998 came before the project he had built could fully mature — but his contribution to the trajectory of the club was significant. He gave them a culture and a quality of foreign player that set the standard for the transformation that would later accelerate under Roman Abramovich. His personal playing contribution, even at 34, demonstrated the quality that had made him one of Europe's finest players a decade earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're a Chelsea fan or looking for a gift for someone who followed Gullit during his Stamford Bridge years, this Players Couture design captures him in the famous blue in the Pantone-card illustration style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe t-shirt is made from 100% premium cotton with a regular unisex fit, available in White, Navy, Red, Black and Grey in sizes XS to 5XL.
