[@swissarmyknife5575]

He is one of the main reasons I started to support Chelsea. Vialli is a true Chelsea legend first as player then as manager, he will never be forgotten.

[@markpaulo269]

he's been struggling with cancer but happily he seems to have overcome it, remember him playing for Cremonese before joining Sampdoria, great striker.

Loved him at Sampdoria..should have won the Champions Cup in 92....Vialli was always smoking cigarettes...please dont ever smoke its not worth it...i hope he stays healthy...

RIP legend 🇮🇹 you was such a class talent

[@britturk123]

Rest in eternal peace Gianluca Vialli beyond him being a wonderful striker and player what I remember most fondly is his gentlemanly nature and how he learnt English so well consuming as much British culture as he could. Condolences to his family and Italy, but especially his children and wife.

[@riccardoalcaro8483]

Juventus fan here. What a player Vialli was, he could score in all manners a striker should - left foot, right foot, headers, first-time shots, shots after dribbles in close ranks, long range blasts, volleys, everything. He was very talented but also very mobile, his constant running could wear out a full defence. Always liked his celebrations, he exploded with joy when it actually made sense, otherwise he was just happy to have done his job. Nothing like the shows players put up today. He was sure of himself but not arrogant, actually he often came out as - if not humble - capable of listening. He was quite combative but also clean and loved fair play and especially playing for the team. And he was a clever nice bloke off the pitch too, never heard him say anything stupid. A great guy, a true image of the football that was, the romanticized but also truly more romantic game of the 1980s and 1990s, both for us Italians and I guess for you guys in England. So sorry he has left us

[@thegeminianiproject2329]

You described him very well; thank you for that!

[@ankleshigh]

he was part of the rebirth of chelsea, a complete legend, we love you luca.

[@Simko21]

He was just a great guy. A great player, but even greater as a person. He will be missed. He loved England, loved Chelsea and Chelsea loved him. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. He was such a great person and it was a genuine pleasure to share a dressing room with him and call him my teammate. Sometimes you don’t fully recognise the greatness of someone’s talent until you’re in their presence, and that was the case with him. He’ll be very sadly missed.” Mark Hughes

[@giames78]

Vialli è diventato una leggenda in tutte le squadre per cui ha giocato. Alla Sampdoria, per lo scudetto e il ciclo vincente che si deve ai gol suoi e di Mancini... Alla Juve, quando dopo i primi due anni difficili si riscattò diventando il capitano della squadra di nuovo vincitrice del campionato dopo nove anni di digiuno e soprattutto dell'ultima Champions League bianconera, e poi al Chelsea, dove nonostante fosse a fine carriera riuscì a imporsi e a portare a casa successi importanti.

[@gnubbolo]

la cessione di Vialli fu la più grande cagata di Luciano Moggi.

[@derekjermain]

@@gnubbolo la penso come te. Lucianone era convinto non avesse piú nulla da dare. Vialli sarebbe rimasto volentieri alla Juve.

[@topspot2259]

@@derekjermain sarebbe rimasto volentieri alla sampdoria..ha fatto errori nella finale di champions perchè sentiva la fine di un'era..e avrebbe finito la carriera come presidente della sampdoria..ha tenuto duro per anni prima di cedere alla juventus..comunque fa piacere che ogni squadra dove ha giocato lo ricordi con affetto

[@mhairtin2007]

The Sampdoria team team that won the Italian league in 1991 was a magnificent feat led by Vialli (their only ever title) when considering it was the strongest league in the world up against the superb Milan team, The Inter team with the World Cup winning Germans, Juventus with Baggio, reigning champions Maradonas Napoli as well as the other big contenders with all world class players.

Was a really interesting time back when Chelsea had these Italian players like Di Matteo, Vialli and Zola. Back in the 90's Serie A was imo the strongest league in Europe, so it was quite nice to have these players plus Ravanelli, Lombardo, Di Canio and Carbone all playing in the PL.

[@benjaminbreeg9838]

Love those old 90's Chelsea shirts - so baggy and voluminous. Looks like he's about to take off! Forgotten how much white there was in those shirts. These shirts (from 97/98) may have been the last Home shirts to have this much white on the sleeves.

[@wpg5225]

It's not only Chelsea's shirt, but all other teams. It's only recent decades that players wanted fitter jerseys which also started by the Italians during the world cups in 2002/2006 if not mistaken.

[@robtyman4281]

@@wpg5225 true. The 90's was the 'baggy' decade as far as clothes/general fashion was concerned. This of course spread across into sportswear, and football club shirts. It was the thing to wear things that looked slightly too big for you. Close fitting clothes are something that came in during the 00's, and largely remains the case today
