drol 11,154 Posted Sunday at 16:49 "Ossignur! Totò Schillaci l'è 'l gran visir de tücc i terun!" (A popular Italian sketch of the 90s parodizing Lega Nord, the meaning is "Oh, my God! Totò Schillaci is the grand vizier of all southerners!") The wording ("he is monitored day and night by an equipe of doctors") is ominous. Other sources report he has been battling cancer for years. EDIT: was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer in early 2022. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suppose we have our answer now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,249 Posted 18 minutes ago George Burley having (unspecified type and stage) cancer is an interesting one, as he's approaching 70 and has been an alcoholic for large chunks of his life. Remember Christophe Daum, one to watch imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
