#11 Tore Andre Flo - Chelsea

A really tall striker, the Norwegian Flo moved to Chelsea from his native club Brann, on the back of tremendous scoring record of having managed 28 goals in 40 appearances. Known for scoring with his head, he was never able to cement a place in the starting team for the Blues as he had to contend with likes of Gianfranco Zola, Gianluca Vialli and Mark Hughes. He was still able to achieve a cult status at Stamford Bridge by scoring goals while coming off the bench. From a total of 50 goals he scored for Chelsea, 13 of which were scored when he played as a substitute.
