Despite coming to England in his 30's I still feel after Henry and maybe Ronaldo he's the most talented footballer to play in the Premier League.

There's a massive wankfest over Silva and Mata at the moment but Zola was several levels above both of them.

I remember him because he missed a penalty in the first ever football game I watched.

Second best touch in the history of PL after Bergkamp. RVP is 3rd.

Defo one of the best of that Era.

I'm surprised his name is mentioned more around.


Luigi Di Biagio anyone?

its no surprise that the comparison with bergkamp has already been mentioned, i wouldnt compare these guys with anyone they're simply a class of their own, they might not be very athletic, but boy they are masters of that magical touch that reminds you of why you love football in the first place

Top Top player as a real easy guy to like.

Was always one of my favourites growing up.

The goal he scored from a corner with a back heel flick in the air at the front post was amazing. Might have been against Norwich.

Also I always loved the assist for Poyet's scissor kick when he lifts the ball over the defensive perfectly. (forget who against).
