Gianluca Vialli: The Gentleman
About this episode
It’s three years since a Chelsea great passed away which means it’s only right for a Straight Outta Cobham special.
Gianluca Vialli joined Chelsea as a player in 1996 and went on to become one of the club’s most significant figures of the pre-Abramovich era.
He helped the Blues win the FA Cup in 1997, before taking over as manager the following season and winning both the League Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup.
In this special episode, Matt Davies-Adams, Simon Johnson and Sam Parkin are joined by Luca Dal Monte, a close childhood friend of Vialli’s and author of the new book “The Gentleman: Gianluca Vialli and How He Changed English Football Forever”.
Produced by Xavi Bird.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
