RUUD GULLIT has revealed that we have all been saying his name wrong for decades – and it has completely blown the minds of footy fans across the globe.<\/strong><\/p>\n The now 61-year-old burst on to the scene in the 1980s playing for the likes of FC Haarlem, Feyenoord and PSV.<\/p>\n That resulted in a big-money move to Italian giants AC Milan, where he went on to cement his status as one of the finest players on the planet.<\/p>\n Gullit, who was named in Fifa\u2019s top 125 greatest living footballers in 2004, became a household name as he captained Holland to Euro glory in 1988.<\/p>\n After winning the European Cup twice with Milan, Gullit then ventured to Sampdoria before becoming one of the first high-profile foreign names to head to the Premier League in 1995.<\/p>\n But after just one season as a player at Chelsea, he became the club\u2019s manager and was soon making history again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He became the first foreign manager to lift the FA Cup in 1997 and he would later manage Newcastle in the English top-flight.<\/p>\n Gullit has also managed Feyenoord and LA Galaxy and despite losing his iconic dreadlocks, he still remains one of the most recognisable footy icons in the world.<\/p>\n However, it has now emerged that the way we have all said his name – Hoo-Lit – has been completely wrong.<\/p>\n The revelation came thanks to a video clip shared by the \u201cTeam Gullit\u201d social media account, the Fifa 23 world champions.<\/p>\n <\/picture>HARDEST GOODBYE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>TUCH AND GO <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>RED LIGHTS <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>DON WITH IT <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n The ex-Newcastle manager starred in the clip that showed his Fifa card score of 90.<\/p>\n Gullit said: \u201cYou really think that I wasn't part of the Gullit gang anymore?\u201d<\/p>\n Then, as he shook his head, he said: \u201cI don\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n However, viewers were more interested in how he pronounced his own name\u2026 and minds were blown.<\/p>\n \u201cWait,\u201d responded one fan to the clip before adding: \u201cHis name is pronounced \u2018Goo-Lit\u2019. My whole life has been a lie\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis whole time we've all been saying his name wrong lol,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n A fellow fan wrote: \u201cWait… it\u2019s pronounced Goo-lit.\u201d<\/p>\n Another said that the icon had \u201cforgot how to pronounce his name\u201d.<\/p>\n While a fellow footy fan asked: \u201cHave I really been pronouncing Gullit wrong all this time?\u201d<\/p>\n
