Answer: 42 seconds

Di Matteo joined Chelsea from Lazio in 1996. In the 1997 FA Cup Final he scored after only 42 seconds against Middlesbrough.

Di Matteo also won the FA Cup in 2000 with Chelsea, as well as the 1998 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the 1998 UEFA Super Cup. He suffered a leg break in 2001, which eventually forced him to retire from playing eighteen months later at the age of only 31.

Di Matteo would go on to manage Chelsea, winning the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League, both in 2012. This was the first time in their history Chelsea had won the Champions League. Despite this, poor form the following season saw Di Matteo fired in November 2012.

The introduction of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Eidur Gudjohnsen saw Flo drop down the pecking order at Chelsea and in November 2000 he signed for Scottish side Rangers for a then record transfer sum paid for a Norwegian player.

It was also a then Scottish record fee also. Flo failed to live up to expectations however, and despite scoring 29 goals in 53 appearances he was sold to Sunderland in 2002.

Answer: Ruud Gullit

Gullit managed Chelsea from 1996-1998. During his spell he won the FA Cup in 1997.

Vialli would go on to win the competition and also won the 1998 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. He also won the UEFA Super Cup in 1998 as well as the 2000 FA Cup and the FA Charity Shield in the 2000-2001 season.

With five trophies in under three years, Vialli was, at the time, the most successful manager in Chelsea's history in terms of silverware. Despite this, he was sacked just five games into the 2000-2001 season following a poor run of form and a dispute with several Chelsea players.
