Davide Astori has been given a fitting send off by thousands of mourners after the Fiorentina and Italy defender passed away last weekend.
The former centre-back died on Saturday after a short illness to the shock of the football world, and his funeral - which took place on Thursday - was impeccably observed by all in attendance.
Thousands of Fiorentina fans lined the streets of Florence as they honoured Astori with applause, scarves, flowers and banners showing exactly what he meant to them.
And many more were present at the Basilica di Santa Croce as Astori's hearse passed through the square to chants of 'grande capitano' which translates to 'great captain', according to the Telegraph.
