just shows u should live life for now because you don't know what lies ahead

 

[For better or worse]

sad day. sounds like he will leaves a lasting impression. Awful for his friends, family and colleagues.

Reminds me of what happened with Ugo Ehiogu, must be very difficult for the players and staff to carry on with their work when something like this happens.

He died the day before we were due to play back then and we carried on with the game. At the time I thought it should have been cancelled. I’m thinking the same for the Brighton game on Saturday. How can we be expected to play that?

I think the players will want to play, same as when Ehiogu passed away.

It won’t be easy but I bet they’d rather have the distraction of a game than have to sit at home.

Will be wearing my 1982 Italy Azzuri shirt for this one... (even if it IS Brighton's colours!)

How sad to lose someone who clearly was so loved, and such an inspiration. So random.
But must have been a life well lived to generate such respect and affection.

 

[Luxy208]

Very sad news.

RIP

 

[KaneDomBadBoy]

Shocking news. Had no idea he had an illness.

Sad sad day for us all

RIP

 

[SouthCoastSpur]

Really shocking news. RIP.

 

[Nuts]

Just read this. Really really sad. RIP

And with Ugo there was "at least" the distance of him working with the youth team and not the first team. But he was still greatly beloved by the first team players who met him every day.

With Gian Piero they not only met him every day, but worked closely with him. So it is bound to hit them even more.

I would not be surprised to see a very downtrodden team on Saturday.

I would want and expect Antonio to urge the team to play Brighton with GPV in their hearts and their minds and their boots, though I don't think they'll need to be told. We don't run from challenges - we accept them and we act with strength. The next 3 games are for you Gian Piero.

Brighton

Frankfurt

Everton

Win, Lose or Draw, put on a show for GPV.

Canceling life due to a death isn’t always the answer. It is very sad and the team performance could be affected in either a positive or negative way.

Thoughts are with his nearest and dearest.
