Tragic news. Personal friend of Conte who was extremely upset and lost for words when they tried to interview him on Sky.

Sad news indeed

RIP to both of them.

Roger Bannister had a long and busy life, doing good and achieving iconic status thanks to his 4 minute mile. His world record only lasted a month, but his achievement will live for ever. RIP

Davide? A fit bloke in his early thirties? Its no age to be checking out. Very sad. RIP

Absolutely,
Although it may be very sad, it doesn't come as a major surprise when you hear that someone has died at the age of 88

But 31 FFS, that's just shocking
Not just any 31 year old, a supremely fit, professional athlete.

The medical team at Fiorentina are apparently dumbfounded, this is a guy who regularly received extremely comprehensive medical examinations, his diet was literally arranged for him and he's someone I wouldn't imagine had a secret alcohol or drug problem bearing in mind the level of football he was playing.

If his heart condition can be missed it really makes you worry

RIP Davide and Roger, very sad news
