Dennis Wise’s Silent Fury: The Untold Story of Ruud Gullit’s Most Explosive Chelsea Moment
When Gullit managed Wise
Wise had been part of the Chelsea squad since 1990, and was 29 when Gullit took charge six years later. He’d won 12 England caps but had not been a regular presence in the Three Lions squad, and didn’t go to Euro 96.
The midfielder was sceptical about whether his new manager would be good for him.
“We clashed early on because Dennis was convinced I was only interested in fielding foreign players,” Gullit revealed.
