Жыл бұрын

Graeme Souness has described his former team-mate Gianluca Vialli as a 'warm, caring soul', following his sad passing at the age of 58.
Gianluca Vialli, the former Italy and Chelsea striker, has died aged 58 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Vialli was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2017 and then for a second time in 2021, shortly after Italy's Euro 2020 triumph.
He left his role with Italy in December, citing his need to undergo treatment for the disease.

It hits to see a tough man like Souness bursting up in tears. That proves how Gianluca was beloved.

First of all I'm a QPR supporter, I worked in Peter Jones, Department Store Slone Square, where I meet Gianluca many of times in the 90s and I can honesty say he was such a Great person. Always smiling chatting to people, and he didn't mind waiting to be serviced, always had a smile on his face. A true Gentleman and I always asked him please sign for QPR! his response was with a smile on his face was "I want to be at the Bridge to Fish!!!!! RIP Gianluca Vialli

You can see Graeme is very upset and quite frankly so am I. Gianluca came across as a really nice guy. I'm just so sad he's passed away. Chelsea were so lucky to have him as a player and manager and he's definitely one of their greats. Gianluca Vialli rest in peace from a Liverpool fan, a football fan and human being. You were one of the best.

In the mid 90s i bought a T-shirt from the local outdoor markets with a printed picture of Vialli. I was not a keen football fan however I wore it to school during non uniform days and slowly started to appreciate the sport and him. It's crazy how memories come flooding back on hearing a name from your childhood.

Really sad news. A class, class player - and seemed like a truly nice guy. For some reason, the 1997 Tromso v Chelsea CWC game in the Arctic came to my mind. Any conditions, this guy has the poise and balance on the pitch. Many condolences to his family and friends.

haha,judging by the reports I read of that match at the time,penguins would have been happily at home on the pitch. Some pampered bores in the media called for the game to be moved to a neutral venue because of the weather,but that would have been robbing Tromso and their supporters of the chance to see top European competition first hand,and full credit to Chelsea and UEFA for not listening to those pleas and getting the game played where it was meant to be.

This makes me sad. I remember he was such an icon in the best days of the premier league during the late 90s early 2000s at Chelsea. Remember his reaction when Chelsea smashed Manchester United 5-0 at Stamford bridge and the 4-0 opener against Sunderland. What a bloke. Brilliant player as well. Sadly no one will replace these great footballers. Just a bunch of love island fairies who just play for money and fame these days.
