[Archived] Livorno player Morosini dies during game

[A cup of beans]

25-year-old Piermario Morosini has died after collapsing during Pescara-Livorno due to a heart attack.

He was on loan at Livorno, but owned by Udinese.

Marosini has a tragic family history. Both his parents died young and his brother also died in an accident!

Serie A suspended, of course.

25. No age?

I know we think they are a bunch of overpaid primadonnas because of the antics of a few but are professional footballers pushed to hard?

So very sad - football is totally irrelevant at times like this.

Terrible news, puts things into perspective. Telegraph's story: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/9204710/Livornos-Piermario-Morosini-dies-after-suffering-heart-attack-during-Serie-B-clash-against-Pescara.html

Edit your multi quoted post will you, Mercer

You never know when your number's up.

RIP.

Very sad.

I imagine the Italians will be a lot more dignified about this than the media and most people here were with the Muamba situation.

RIP.

Horrible apparently his brother killed himself a few years back as well

Rip

What horrible news, thoughts are with his family and friends.

[Andy]

I saw the game footage and the lad tried getting up twice, which shows what kind of fighter he was, considering his heart was literally failing.

Such sad news and, certainly for me, puts a lot into perspective.

Done.

Sincere apologies, don't know how the hell that happened.

Watch all the collaborators try to get on-side! Not in my house!

(Please don't use that word again) THE MEDIA! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US!

probably get a ban for this again ... cheers community managers (pafetic)

Wrong...topic?

Anyway, is there anything clubs can do to spot potential warning signs? Monthly ECGs?

I hope your ban is a permanent one. You couldn't just leave this one thread alone...?

The only pathetic thing is you writing that drivel in this thread. Enjoy your ban - you won't be missed one iota.

I saw that too, Andy (having access to Italian TV and media).

really upsetting scenes.

morosinis family have appealed for this footage to be taken down, out of respect

Italian sensibilities when it comes to showing these types of scenes are different to UK's. *see mussolini's death and his body being shown.

Everyone will have their own views on the rights and wrongs.

But its not done out of morbid fascination. It's cultural and the belief is that showing scenes such as this can be a benefit society in terms of understanding mortality and respecting life.

Here's a moving article about Morosini.

Very sad news indeed. What a tragic life he and his sister have faced. It was nice to hear that Udinese and Atlanta have pledged life long financial support to the player's disabled sister.

[BuckyRover]

I saw it when it first happened. It was horrible

this video makes me sad
