Chelsea owner Todd Boehly did not know who Ruud Gullit was when they first met, according to the Dutch footballing legend.
Gullit, the 1987 Ballon d'Or winner, ended his illustrious playing career with the Blues before going on to manage the side, first as a player-coach, for two seasons.
He holds the distinction as being the first foreign manager to win the FA Cup when he led the Blues to just their second crown in 1997. But in spite of his indelible mark on the history of the European game, nevermind the annals of Stamford Bridge, Blues owner Boehly had no idea who he was when they first met.
