Flo 1998-00 (a)

Tore Andre Flo was one of my favourite players growing up. He was very skilful for someone of his height and scored some memorable goals during his three years at the club.

Highlights include the hat-trick at Three Point Lane during the 6-1 demolition, goals against Barcelona in the Champions League quarter final and the brace against Blackburn in the kit painted on this figure.

The game against Blackburn at the beginning of the 1998-99 season was a classic Premier League encounter full of goals and incidents. Perhaps the most memorable aspect was Roy Hodgson, Blackburn manager at the time, losing his cool somewhat! You can watch highlights here.

Flo lived up to his reputation as a supersup as he came off the bench to score twice and fire Chelsea to a 4-3 win.

There are two good biographies of Flo's time at the club by Chelsea and Sporting Heroes.
