Ruud Gullit’s Header For Holland
Perhaps the most famous goal of Ruud Gullit’s career, every football fan who witnessed it can picture in their mind’s eye the flowing dreadlocks being thrown back as the Dutch captain powered his header into the net.
Gullit was one of the great Dutch triumvirate at AC Milan in the late 1980s-mid 1990s alongside countrymen Frank Rijkaard and Marco Van Basten and ably supported by some of the best Italian defenders in history in the shape of Franco Baresi and a young Paolo Maldini.
Forever best remembered in the orange of Holland or Milan’s red and black stripes, Gullit went on to play for and manage Chelsea in the Premiership before bringing his career to a close.
Skilful and a fantastic passer of the ball, Gullit was also strong and deadly in the air as this goal shows all too well. A true Dutch legend, he was one of the few Dutch captains to be able to hold his side together long enough to fulfil some small measure of their potential through winning the 1988 European Championships.
