‘Forza Luca’ – Fans hang touching banner outside Gianluca Vialli’s London hospital amid Chelsea legend’s cancer fight | The Sun
SAMPDORIA fans have paid a touching tribute to Gianluca Vialli.
That’s by hanging a supportive banner outside the London hospital he’s staying in for his cancer treatment.
Chelsea legend Vialli, 58, is receiving treatment in the capital for pancreatic cancer.
The Italian was first diagnosed in 2017 before getting the all-clear in 2020.
But sadly, Vialli’s cancer returned a year later.
And earlier this month he was forced to step away from his role with the Italian national team.

But Sampdoria supporters went a step further as they decorated the front of his hospital with a touching banner.
Displaying the Italian club’s colours, it simply read: “Forza Luca.”
