A friend from school was his accountants au pair around 1989.
She had never heard of him before starting the job but said he was a really funny easy going bloke

He always came across as a lovely man.
I've never forgotten that goal he scored off his backside whilst playing for Chelsea.
RIP fella.

It seemed like the line too nice to be football manager applied to him. Was also a very good goal scorer at one time.

RIP

Terribly sad news.

If anyone is interested in his football story the Totally Golazzo podcast did a 2 part special on him a few years ago. Available widely not just on Spotify.

Remember watching him and others when Italian football was the only game to watch on a Sunday afternoon, before money ruined it all.

Amazingly, six out of his seven international goals came in the 1990 World Cup.

Far too young and especially cruel as he was given the all clear yet 12 months later the cancer returned.

Was generally seen as a really nice individual and was certainly a Top notch player.

Agreed.

Good player and manager and an even nicer chap by all accounts. I can't ever remember anyone saying a bad word about him.:cry:
