GIANFRANCO ZOLA

Early day motion 685, tabled 18 January 2002 by Lord Stratford (Labour). Signed by 14 members.

That this House congratulates the players and fans of Norwich and Chelsea for their conduct on and off the pitch in the recent FA Cup replay at Stamford Bridge; joins in the chorus of admiration of the fantastic goal scored by Gianfranco Zola and his dedication of the goal to Matthew Ashton; believes that Zola, who was voted footballer of the year in his first season at Chelsea remains a magnificant role model for all that is good and decent in the sport at a time when its image is somewhat tarnished; and calls upon the Prime Minister to find an appropriate way to mark Zola's wonderful contribution to football in both England and Italy.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, Liberal Democrat 4, UUP 1.
