very sad, lovely guy when I met him and got his signature as a young boy, was one of my favourite players when I started going to the bridge.

Loved that team with him, zola, petrescu, flo, hughes, di matteo, wisey...

Brought back a bit of glamour to the kings road.

Sad news,

RIP

A normal bloke like all of us. A good mate of mine who's Chelsea said he used have a ciggy on the bench when playing for chelsea and stub it out with his boot before coming on.... love it.
...
i took my son on a stamford bridge tour last year

as part of the tour you go from the changing rooms down the tunnel and out towards the pitch

i found it odd that chelsea line up on the right in the tunnel but the home dug out is on the left as you come out meaning the subs coaches etc have to cross over

i questioned why and apparently it was vialli who changed it as a superstition after winning the fa cup

its stuck ever since and will probably remain that way for decades to come

loved watching him on football italia

absolute legend of a player

very good manager

by all accounts a top top bloke away from football

rip

Last year a candid Vialli opened up on how 'fragile' he was and how he never believed he would win any battle with cancer.

'I was a player and a strong man but also a fragile one and I think someone who might recognise himself. I'm here with my flaws, fears and desire to do something important,' Vialli said.

'I'm not having a battle with cancer because I don't think I'd be able to win it, it's a much stronger opponent me.

'Cancer is an unwanted travel companion, but I can't help it. He got on the train with me and I have to go on, travel with my head down, never giving up, hoping that one day this unwanted guest will get tired and let me live peacefully for many more years because there are still many things I want to do.'

What a man!
