Graeme Souness broke down in tears and had to stop an interview live on television while discussing the death of his friend and former teammate Gianluca Vialli.
Vialli passed away, aged 58, on Friday following a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Tributes have poured in from across the footballing world for the former striker, who played with distinction for the likes of Sampdoria, Juventus and Chelsea.
Souness played alongside Vialli at Sampdoria between 1984 and 1986 and built a strong friendship with the Italian. He saw him during the European Championship in the summer of 2021 and believed his friend was doing well, having first been diagnosed with cancer many years earlier.
