Mostyn6 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 This choked me. Feels properly personal and not a scripted response. Mucker1884, Premier ram, FlyBritishMidland and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 My stomach knotted up reading this thread title! Truly sickening! Not only because this is the same b****** cancer that took my mother before I'd officially even exited my childhood, but this bloke was not just a bloody fantastic footballer, but he also came across as a thoroughly decent chap. ...And he ain't even proper old school! Practically a modern day player in my mind! ... and younger than me, to boot! Such sad, sickening news. May you rest in peace, sir. xxx uttoxram75, GB SPORTS, Anag Ram and 4 others 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Lovely to hear the tributes of Vialli the man as well as the obvious celebration of his career. So well loved as well as admired.

Absolutely legend. Lovely guy, ready smile and twinkle in his eyes. Feel this much harder than Pele personaly ...modern day footballer who I've watched in the flesh and looked like he could run through brick walls.

SKRam Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Many moons ago a mate nicknamed me Gianluca….for the lack of hair rather my football ability. I always took it as a compliment. All comments from fellow pros relate as much to his personality as his football skills. Thank you Gianluca for what you gave us as a person and player.

Van der MoodHoover Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Had a scare with this myself a couple of years ago and at the same time an old friend got diagnosed with it and was dead in 10 weeks. It's still a real killer and very ok indiscriminate. RIP Gianluca. a real gentleman. Always conducted himself with a quiet dignity.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
