Eddie Mulholland Barbara Charone has spent over 40-years working in the music industry rubbing shoulders with the likes of Madonna, Rod Stewart, Prince and Keith Richards. But it's Chelsea footballers who really give her the butterflies with her favorites including Ruud Gullit, Gianfranco Zola, Frank Lampard and Mason Mount.
