Retro Chelsea Home Shirt 1997/99
Between 1997 and 1999, Chelsea, managed by Gianluca Vialli, were developing into a competitive force in English football. The squad featured stars such as Gianfranco Zola, Frank Leboeuf, Roberto Di Matteo, Gustavo Poyet, and goalkeeper Ed de Goey, blending technical flair with defensive organisation. In 1997/98, Chelsea finished 3rd in the Premier League, demonstrating attacking creativity and tactical discipline. The following season, 1998/99, they improved further, finishing 3rd again and consolidating their position in the top tier. This period marked the foundation of Vialli’s era, emphasising cup success, technical skill, and the club’s growing ambitions before the Abramovich era.
