As has been said, quality footballer, quality guy.
And the only Chelsea chant I ever liked was, to the tune of 'That's Amore'... (I think a chelsea guy was singing it in the pub after their '96 win at the swamp)
"When the ball hits the back of the Old Trafford net, iiit's Viaaalli..."
Some of my earliest memories of Football Italia are him and Ravanelli partnering for Juve, what a top striker he was and seemed like a class guy as well. Was always funny to me how he kind of had a cockney-Italian accent, a bit like Di Mateo as well.
