Football

Some beautiful tributes:

Sampdoria wrote on Friday in an emotional article: “You gave us so
much, we gave you so much: yes, it was love, reciprocal, infinite. A
love that will not die today with you. We will continue to love and
adore you because – as you well know – you are better than Pelé. And
because, despite everything, our beautiful season is destined to never
end.”

They added: “We will remember you as a boy and a relentless
centre-forward, because heroes are all young and beautiful and you,
since that summer of 1984, have been our hero. Strong and beautiful,
with that 9 printed on the back and the Italian flag sewn on the
heart.”

(Stolen from the Guardian, but what a lovely sentiment!)
