Massive shame, always seemed a top bloke when on our tv screens and a very good player

 

[HighfieldSeasider]

He was some player, no age at all

Cancer is an awful disease, RIP.

 

[Brazil]

[Sooty59]

Bloody hell poor bloke. Just shows it can still get the fittest people. I’m shocked RIP

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Always came across as a decent guy.

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

Sad news, always liked him as a player and a pundit, cancer can fcuk right off. RIP

 

[Walthamstow_Seasider]

Tragic, an immensely likeable bloke and a real gent.

One hell of a shock, crikey.

RIP

 

[Matesrates]

RIP Gianni

 

[TangerineBayern]

RIP to a very true gentleman and fantastic player!

 

[TKL_Seasider]

Very sad. The younger generation may not realise just how massive it was for Italy’s top striker to come to England back then … going the other way more likely!

 

[Tangerinenick]

RIP top bloke and player

 

[straightatthewall]

Sad news that. RIP

 

[NewburyOne]

Very sad news, a terrific player and an even better person. RIP Luca

 

[Macseasider]

Gutted. Loved watching him on Football Italia in the early 90's. He was a genuine superstar of the day. Knew he was fighting cancer.

RIP Gianluca

 

[Rotterdam+Sussex_Seasider]

I followed Sampdoria in late 80s and 90s. Great player and fantastic forward line of Vialli, Mancini and Lombardo. RIP Gianluca

 

[AngelBFC]

Very sad .

Had a privileged background but was one of the hardest working in training and on the pitch a real battler .

Always came across as an extremely humble pleasant guy .

 

[Micky Walsh]

Very sad new as he had already beat it once!

 

[Raging_Bull]

Very sad to read this, as mentioned a top player and a top man taken away too soon.

RIP Gianluca

 

[Mark_GT]

Huge shame.

 

[Alfie Conn]

Tragedy RIP

 

[Stanah]

What a shame! RIP

He was a very good player and came across as a top guy as well.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

RIP, pancreatic cancer is the cuntiest of all of them.

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

Always came across as a top, likeable guy. Just seen Souness interviewed on SSN and he broke down live on air so they left him. Apparently they were good friends

 

[FlytoKavala]

Just had a text off my brother who is in Jesi and he said that GV's passing is receiving more TV time than the death of Pope Benedict.

 

[tommytwojags]

Lovely man, great player. God bless.

 

[RUSTY_2_STANDS]

Class act on and off the field. Always seemed to have a smile on his face. RIP Gianluca

 

[fcblackpool]

Sometimes you hear of a passing and it washes over a little. This is shocking.

RIP.

 

[Ruperthoop]

RIP Gianluca. Did so much for the game of football and came across as a very decent warm human being. Sad day.

[Killingmesoftly]

RIP…always came across as a really decent person…no age at all…

 

[Fargo99]

RIP Gianluca, read recently he was very ill but it still came as a shock he'd gone.

 

[Farm1924x]

Class player and was a decent bloke by all accounts. So young. RIP

 

[PNENIL]

Such sad news. Great player who was a proper footballer and my kind of striker.
Happy memories of C4 and the early days of BskyB watching Italian football.
I love unique goals and his diving header on the floor in the rain when it came back off the woodwork was certainly that.
He always came across as a really nice guy as well.
RIP .

 

[Wizzerboy]

Shocked and saddened at this news
Riposare in pace Luca

 

[Lala]

RIP very sad and far too young

 

[mad-link]

A lovely bloke and a brilliant player.

I named my son after him (Luca)

 

[mad-link]

Always came across as a top, likeable guy. Just seen Souness interviewed on SSN and he broke down live on air so they left him. Apparently they were good friends

They played together at Sampdoria

 

[hertfordseasider]

Shocking, just fuck off cancer, terrible illness, what a great player he was, gutted.
