Forza Vialli ~ Gianluca Vialli RIP

Crispin Thomas

Friday, January 6th, 2023

The blue Azzurri fire that burned
when I first saw you on my screen
one Nineties Sunday Channel 4
Sampdoria your long time home

the passion in your play that shone
as bright as bright for all to see
that you would bring in bucketloads
to Stamford Bridge in mighty games
to drive us on the pitch and line
to triumph oh so many times

the 40 goals you scored for Chels
the smile the cheek the things you’d say
the fever of that epic tie
v Liverpool when you took hold
to somehow turn it all around
when as you said “the fish were down!”

so many moments down the years
that thrilled us all but now the tears
for one who left us far too young
but gave their all in ev’ry game

and I’m distraught and not alone
remembering so many times
The blue Azzurri fire that burned
when I first saw you on my screen
one Nineties Sunday… Channel 4
