As a player Gianfranco Zola was used to bringing a smile to the faces of Chelsea fans. Now he’s got a different way of keeping Londoners happy.

The Italian football legend – who scored 59 times in 229 appearances for Chelsea – will be in Bromley on Monday (November 9) to open his new gelato and coffee parlour.

Unico opened in Bromley recently and, from 12.30pm, staff will be handing out samples while the footballing hero meets customers, signs autographs and poses for selfies.

Gianfranco said: “I am excited to bring the flavours that I love to Bromley.

“Unico was born from the friendship of myself, Leonardo and Elena and her family and our desire to bring the Italian tradition of gelato making to the UK.”
