prussianblue 1,038 Posted June 12, 2023 I actually gasped and just about dropped my phone. I've previously written about how Silvio has been an (semi)ironic in-joke among my uni friend group for the past 15 years or so, to the extent of naming our pub quiz team after him. I know that objectively he was a shit, but I'll miss him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silvio will live to 90 and beyond as he is still hanging around as a 50-year-old guy, he has minor cardiac problems but nothing death-worthy. His mother lived to 97 and his father to 81, so no way he goes because of a heart attack or a stroke before he's 85 or more. He can afford the best doctors in the country and he will fight for his life forever as he is not a surrenderer. Conclusion: this thread will go on for 10 years or more without any important health news. Wow. Crazy looking back. Well, at least the arrhythmia was not going to get him, arrhythmia not going to get him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sly Ronnie 886 Posted June 12, 2023 The man was a colossal prick but he did have a hand in creating perhaps the greatest club side in European football history - AC Milan c.1987-1994. RIP. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bit shocking that he was a unique sure, but not really a surprise that he wasn't a Drop 40 pick. He wasn't really a big deadpool name until his leukemia diagnosis this year. Yes, he was on last year's DL, but, like David Crosby, almost everyone wanted him gone from this year's list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prussianblue 1,038 Posted June 14, 2023 Silvio's funeral is suitably lavish, and also a great form-spotting opportunity for the great and good of Italian society. Everyone from Fabio Capello to Alessandra Mussolini has turned up: https://milano.repubblica.it/cronaca/2023/06/14/news/mattarella_draghi_bossi_emanuele_filiberto_funerali_silvio_berlusconi-404439004/?ref=RHLF-BG-I404374650-P1-S2-T1 The only one that looks especially bad in these photos is a wheelchair-bound Umberto Bossi, 81 year old former leader of the Lega Nord. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know/recognize who's the man in the white suit next to Umberto Bossi here? I watched some of the funeral and seems like those two were possibly the only people wheelchairbound there.

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted June 14, 2023 Looking at pictures of the funeral, all Milan's title-winning coaches from the Berlusconi years appear to be there except for Carlo Ancelotti (who'd have to travel and probably has better things to do) and Alberto Zaccheroni. I take it this means the latter hasn't fully recovered from his fall earlier this year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
