The Very Best Of Gianluca Vialli | Chelsea Legends 

Rip Gianluca As a child sitting in the stands of the bridge I absolutely adored you , 1 of my first footballing heroes. 💔

Rest in peace Champion. You were a true legend. Forever in our hearts

I’ve never heard a bad word said against him. Great player. A much loved man. R I p.

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

Legendary player. Legendary manager. The Italian Trio: Vialli, Di Matteo, Zola

I am so sorry for the loss of Gianluca May he RIP and condolences to his family. From a spurs fan.😢😢😳😳💙💙

RIP legend 🇮🇹 you was such a class talent

Left foot, right foot, headers, great first touch, lethal first timers. What a player, Chelsea legend

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.

R.I.P. unbelievable player, I remember watching the game in the snow I think it was against p.s.v, it was on Halloween night and I just got in from trick or treating, it got to about the 70th minute and I remember thinking this is ridiculous the amount of snow coming down on the pitch

Just heard the awful news that he's passed away. Not a Chelsea fan but utmost respect to this legend, what a player and by all accounts a lovely genuine person too. RIP Vialli.

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.

Nostalgie. True Chelsea. Gullit, Zola, Vialli. Rest in peace!

Never got to watch him live, before my time, but what a player, insane eye for goal, also have heard nothing but great things about him as a person. RIP

From a West Brom fan who loved that chelsea team. It was a privilege to watch you and chelsea beat us 3-0 in the FA cup 97, you came off the bench you were were wonderful. Zola destroyed us!. One more fight come on!!!

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

Rest in Peace, Luca... as Chelsea fan since 1997, he is the first Bomber i ever watch in Chelsea jersey... before Jimmy Hasselbaink and Didier Drogba...

Makes me nostalgic for players managers. Thanks for the memories Gianluca. Vialli Vialli Vialli Vialli Vialli

Exquisite goals, especially the once scored on snow!

Stay strong champion!!

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.

A wonderful footballer but clearly a fantastic person as well, he always came across as honest humble and sincere .Never without a smile .RIP Luca

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

Rip Luca, was proud to be at every home game in the 90s, watching you was an utter joy, thanks for the memories, you made those season tickets worth every penny. Especially the great 4-2 FA cup comeback vs Liverpool, rest well say hello to Wilkins for us x

Rip gianluca. man, you had such a big influence on me as a young man, I will be forever grateful. Forever my favourite footballer.

Fortissimo Gianluca... Splendidi goal

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

Vialli was a magical player. And Italian Chelsea was a stunning team 🇮🇹🔥

"When we were class!" Vialli had vision, he knew what could be coming and got ready for it.

Gianluca Vialli ....A Pillar at Chelsea FC.......Thank You Very Much.....❤

As a Newcastle supporter to a world class player god bless 🙏

I love this era of Chelsea. Why i fell in love with football as a child

Gutted, thanks for everything Luca, RIP

A true footballer to bring to the English scene. What a joy to watch.

One of the best number nine in Chelsea 💙

Rip Gianluca your a amazing man and player

When the ball hits the back of the old trafford net it's vialli

I got to know Chelsea during this era, the only club during that time with many Italian players. During this era, both the Italian league and its national team were top class.

The second goal on the snow is simply superb! Grande Gianluca, una potenza, sia in campo che fuori! Grazie per l'Europeo e Forza Azzurri!!!

the italian job.. damn i love that

Io ero piccolo e me lo ricordo abbastanza bene alla Sampdoria e poi alla Juve quando mio padre era lì a Roma nella finale vinta di Champions. Grande Gianlu grande uomo

RIP Legend

one of the reasons i suport Chelsea

Thank u Vialli. What a man. Legend of the game. I will miss him forever 💙💙

Not a Chelsea fan but really enjoyed watching him play. Great player

RIP Gianluca Vialli , striker Legend !! 🇮🇹 ❤

Rest in Peace Gianluca thanks for all these years of passion and love and hard work for football.

Outstanding player. The fact that he was never employed in Italy’s national team between 94-98 gives an idea of what was the squad’s competition level at the time. A whole different era compared to today

RIP Gianluca. Thank you for the memories.

The best center Attack of all time

I remember vialli from the 86 World Cup and the great sampdoria juve side watching on football Italia on channel 4 great player and manger

RIP Chelsea Legend Vialli! Such a joy to watch Vialli, Gullit, Leboeuf, Wise, Zola, Petrescu… made me lifelong supporter of Chelsea since i was 16yo… once a Blues always a Blues!!

Rip legend🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Watched you a lot growing up. Much respect 🙏🏽🙏🏽

RIP legend…one of the most underrated strikers at that time ❤️

Such a humble man

6.44 - 7.39 Gianluca Vialli and Dan Petrescu against Man United... both were incredible footballers

Vialli and Zola were incredible! Forza Italia sempre!

Fantastic football player. Rest in peace Legend. 😢🙏🏻💔

VIALLI WHAT A LEGEND

Wish I was old enough to watch him play. Born in 2000 so I missed out but he looked like a class player. RIP 🔵🔵

R..I.P. Gianluca Vialli. Thank you. From Chelsea fan.

Another great that will sadly be missed ❤

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.

Get Well Soon Vialli 💙

What players we had in this era, great memories .

The legend of the blues 👍👍

Rest in peace😭😭😭😭 thanks for bringing us well scoring football in the past !

Rest in Peace Luca. You’ll always be in Chelsea hearts.

Rest in peace legend.. What a goal and what a volley you scored. Much love from a born and bred Mancunian and man city fan...

Legends are forever...

RIP..my heart drops tears...😢

Who are all watching this again after hearing that the legend fighting against 2nd cancer.. 💙🤧 Legend Forever .. Stay Strong Gianluca Vialli 💙💙💙💙

vialli the legend

RIP - what a legend.

So sad 💔😢 He was such a humble person and what a brilliant player he was! One of the very last worldclass Italian strikers. R.I.P. 💐

My favourite Chelsea player 💙

Once a blue forever a blue RIP gianluca 🕊🕊

One of my favourite non-Everton players. Great dribbling skill and ball control.

Can't belive this Chelsea legend has gone rip my man

The Goal against Schmicheal top class....R.I.P

A brillant striker

rip legend, gone but never forgotten

I love Vialli.. One of my Chelsea favorites

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.

RIp legend💔

RIP. from arsenal fan. Legend of the game

RIP Gianluca. What a player!!

RIP Gianluca Vialli what a player 💙🇮🇹

D u know what Gianluca , i'm very lucky ti have Met such a great man like u RIP

R.I.P legend

RIP Legend 💙

In that time, players at the end of their career used to leave Serie A for the premier League (Vialli, Gullit, Casiraghi, Zola, even Padovano and Mancini). Now it s the opposite

LEGEND.........SAY NO MORE

Buon Viaggio Gianluca...grazie per tutto quello che hai fatto per noi💙

How we could do with a striker of your calibre and class right now. I remember you dancing in the Tromso snow. RIP Legend

R.i.p. Unfortunately never seen him play, but our strikers could learn from this man.. the runs he made were fantastic from the highlights I've seen from him

Gullit , Zola and Vialli. What a sick team that was

Rest in peace, LEGEND

Great players makes it look so easy what a talent .what a star mark lufc

I came here to pay my respects. Ciao Gianluca 💐🕊🙏
