About this person
Born Rudi Dil on 1 September 1962, Gullit moved from PSV to AC Milan in 1987 for a world record fee and was soon nicknamed "The Black Tulip." At Milan he formed a celebrated Dutch trio with Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard, winning three Serie A titles and two European Cups. He was named World Soccer Player of the Year in 1987 and 1989, the same span in which he captained the Netherlands to victory at Euro 1988. In 1995 he signed for Chelsea, and a year later became player-manager; in his first season he delivered the FA Cup, the club's first major trophy in 26 years. In 2004, FIFA named him among the 125 greatest living footballers.
