21 August on this day…
1996: Roberto di Matteo (third from right) scores on his home debut as Chelsea beat Middlesborough 1-0. Di Matteo, who retired after six years at Chelsea, returned as caretaker manager in March 2012. Within two months he’d won the FA Cup and Champions League. In June he was appointed manager only to be sacked in November. Celebrating his goal are (l-r) Frank Leboeuf, Erland Johnsen, Jody Morris, Di Matteo, Dennis Wise and Dan Petrescu.
