shefcanary 2,419 Posted January 6, 2023 Having lost a good friend from Pancreatic cancer a couple of years back, at only 56, I know what his family are going through. Given the disease it will be a blessing his struggle is over, this disease is on a par with MND in book. Let's hope the scientists find something sooner or later that can help patients manage it better, if not the cure. RIP Gianni. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 6, 2023 Loved Gianluca Vialli. Loved watching Sampdoria. Unconventional footballer and a lovely man. I saw a while ago he was battling it and was given the all clear and then it was announced he was back in the Royal Marsden. Still lived in England of course.

Indy 3,307 Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Sad days when one of my childhood idols start to pass away in Pele, but to see a fantastic player who always played with a smile goes it’s a shock to think he’s in my age bracket……RIP Vialli top player fondly remembered.

horsefly 4,308 Posted January 6, 2023 57 minutes ago, Bert said: Did he play for Norwich? This is a Norwich forum 🥴 Indeed it is! And 99.9% of Norwich fans will willingly associate themselves with the sadness being expressed at the death of an excellent footballer at an appallingly young age. I'm not convinced you're a member of that 0.1%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
