RIP Luca, a truly great player and a gentleman. Far too young.

I loved that Sampdoria team with Luca and Mancini a magnificent partnership (C4 Sundays).

Legend.

Holy crap - didn't even know he was ill. Brilliant player in his day, & my neighbor even named his son after him.
Terrible news.

Wow - didn't know he was ill. That's a real stunner. RIP to a great striker

Watched him in the European Cup Final at Wembley. Top Top player despite not being able to finish that day.

Sad times indeed.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I love Vialli. Great bloke, wonderful footballer. I'm pretty upset at this.

 

[B-right-on]

That's awful.

Didn't realise he'd married an British woman and lived in London since his Chelsea days 20 years ago.
