Not sure if this is the right place to put this or if someone has already posted it, but I can't find anything about it. Anyway one of our all time legends has been battling cancer but now he is on the mend...https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=26&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwje86zTvfLeAhW_wAIHHbvFAa4QFjAZegQIBBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.sky.com%2Fstory%2Fex-chelsea-star-gianluca-vialli-reveals-year-long-battle-with-cancer-11564272&usg=AOvVaw3qEMC9BrVvnUiUkX4BACqk

I hope all goes well for him.

Thank you for posting, I didn't know. Get well soon, Luca.

Get well soon Luca!!

He’s already kicked it’s arse hasn’t he? Just recovering from the whole ordeal now is how I’m understanding it. 

"Vialli vialli" may of been past his best when he came here, but never seen movement like Luca's up front, pure quality, get well soon

I remember that match, tromso? it was on channel 5, and Jonathan pierce came out with 'here's Zola on his snow mobile'. It had me in stitches at the time. 

 

Get well soon Luca.

Mancini – on a good run at the moment – picks his good friend and former team-mate to join the Azzurri board (Nazionale delegation)

Luca, cordiali saluti

 

 

 

Get well soon Luca!

Not the best pic taken from the West Lower but liked this from the MHL last night

I was trying to read them at from behind 

Not only could he beat the keepers, he's only gone and beaten cancer.... Great news.

Nice to have a bit of good news for once!

Gianluca Vialli: Ex-Chelsea striker and manager gets pancreatic cancer all-clear

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52274079

 

Former Chelsea striker and manager Gianluca Vialli has been given the all-clear from pancreatic cancer.

The 55-year-old ex-Italy forward said in 2018 he had recovered from cancer before announcing last year that he was dealing with the disease again.

"Gianluca Vialli has been given the all-clear following a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer," said Chelsea. "Amazing news."

Vialli is currently working as part of the Italy national team set-up.

As a player, he was at Cremonese and Sampdoria before moving to Juventus, where he won the Serie A title and the Champions League.

Vialli joined Chelsea in 1996 and was named player-manager following the sacking of Ruud Gullit in February 1998.

He went on to lead the Blues to victory in the League Cup, Uefa Cup Winners' Cup and Uefa Super Cup in the same year.

He also guided Chelsea to victory in the 2000 FA Cup Final and Charity Shield

Vialli, who made 59 appearances for Italy,

 

Great news.

Delighted to hear it - a rare piece of good news. Top bloke.

Great news, never seen a forward with movement and runs that he made, at the end of his career when he joined us, but watching him then, you could tell he was some player in his pomp, never forget the reception we gave him at end of 97 cup final when he came on. "Vialli Vialli"

Fantastic news. That is one of the worst forms of the disease. He is following in the footsteps of Wilko Johnson in beating the odds. Hope to see him back at the Bridge in the future!

I have never heard of anyone recovering from cancer of the pancreas, it would be interesting to know what worked for him.

 

How good was it to see Luca on the Italian bench last night looking healthy. Along with the events of this evening it really brings home just what is important in life.

Why would you bump this thread - thought he was going for round three with Sir John Cancer!

Sorry wasn’t aware of this if he has. Just looked quite well on the bench at the match last night.
