RIP Gianluca... I thought the way they spoke @ the Euros, as though he'd won the battle against Cancer

Elthamaddick · January 2023

wow - didn't even know he was ill, just looked up, was only 58

Great player and far too young

He beat pancreatic cancer twice but it came back a third time.

didn’t realise he was still living in Chelsea up until his death. Or thst he married an English woman.

58 really is no age to die 😟

Pancreatic cancer. He'd already had chemo back in 2017 but had been in remission.

RIP. Great player and seemed an overall nice guy. Scott Minto spoke about him on talk sport a week or so ago and said he was brilliant and that they were still friends.

Sad. I've never really liked Chelsea, but I was excited to see him play when he came over here. A top quality player and seemed a nice chap too

Really sad, so young a great footballer and apparently and more importantly a good man R.I.P

killerandflash · January 2023

RIP, taken far too young. I knew the cancer had returned, but had no idea it had progressed so far.

The Red Robin · January 2023

Oh that’s sad. RIP. Very good player and a decent manager for Chelsea.

Bournemouth Addick · January 2023

Dreadful news. Great player and always seemed a really nice bloke too.

RIP.

So sad and so young. As others have said he always seemed to be a very nice fella. Thoughts with all his friends and family. R.I.P.

RIP luca

cabbles · January 2023

RIP - one of the first influx of foreign players Chelsea got in that period in the mid 90s, when I was in my early teens. Great player. Very sad and far too young

AllHailTheHen · January 2023

That's a real shock. Like many have said seemed like a really nice guy and a brilliant footballer. RIP

TelMc32 · January 2023

Have just said the same to friends that many have said above here. He always came across as a really lovely fella. Bloody horrible disease and 58 is no age at all. Rest in peace Luca.
