Oh man. I honestly loved him despite his choice of club. Incredible that he came to the PL in his 30s and 25+ years later heā€™s still one of the most successful and memorable Italians to play in the league. RIP.

Thatā€™s very sad. Loved Sampdoria in that era. My favourite Italian side.
He was massive in that and different to traditional Italian CFs.
Seemed a likeable man too. RIP legend.

Aw thatā€™s sad news. RIP and thoughts to his friends and family

#2078

That Sampdoria team made two European finals didnt it? Think they lost to Barcelona on both occasions but had some great success.

#2079

Three actually. They beat Anderlecht in 88 before losing too Barca a year later in the CwC.
2 0 and Vialli got both in extra time.

Oh no, Vialli? Didnā€™t even know he was battling cancer.

This is a shock!! Only started watching him after he became player/manager at Chelsea so missed his prime but I know he was some player.

RIP!!

#2081

Sad news. Undeniably transformed Chelsea from a joke club into contenders.

RIP

Very sad news to hear an absolute legend in Italy, I loved him for the national side especially being instrumental alongside Mancini when Italy won the Euros. I recently watched an Italian documentary about the tournament Mancini coming over softly spoken and Vialli coming over animated and very engaging, a lovely personality heā€™s gonna be much missed with the national team.

Itā€™s rare that the death of a footballer connected to a rival moves me. But Vialli lit up the Premier League with his grace, outrageous skill and that smile. Apparently a really lovely guy, I think the number of genuine red-eyed tributes from former footballers show how much he will be sorely missed by those who knew him.

RIP little fella.
