INSIDE SPORT PRESENTER GABBY LOGAN Hi everyone, Gabby here. I've spent the week standing in for Simon Mayo on Radio 5 Live. The highlight may have been meeting George Clooney but the most interesting part of my week was when I met Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola. Zola was recently voted the best-loved player in Chelsea's history and he came across as a charming and thoughtful man. He talked to me about football, Chelsea and foreign players in the Premier League.
