I've varied it slightly this time by painting the socks in the change colour - usually worn in matches against teams with white socks.
Laudrup joined in the summer of 1998, but got injured in pre-season meaning he didn't make his debut until the third game of the season. He came on as a sub in the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid which Chelsea won 1-0. However, it took until the famous 4-3 at Ewood Park for him to show his quality, coming off the bench to set up Tore Andre Flo's equaliser.
Things quickly turned sour though, when Laudrup complained about manager, Gianluca Vialli's rotation policy after a 0-0 draw against Helsingborgs. By the time the next round of the Cup Winners' Cup had come round, Laudrup was complaining of homesickness, and a tie against Copenhagen was the perfect opportunity for him to return home. A 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge was shortly followed by the announcement that upon the completion of the tie, Laudrup would stay in Denmark and be transferred to our opponents in exchange for Bjarne Goldbaek.
Ironically, Laudrup scored the winner in the second leg, his only goal for the club, to knock his new team out of the competition.
