Mourning in the world of football: passed away at the age of 68 Vincent D'Amico, champion of Italy with the Lazio in 1974. The Biancoceleste club itself announced the news. He had been ill for some time: last May, with a post on Facebook, the former player himself had announced that he was fighting against cancer.

“President Claudio Lotito and the entire SS Lazio learn with extreme sorrow and deep emotion the news of the passing of Vincenzo D'Amico, undisputed protagonist of the 1973/74 Scudetto – we read in a note from the Roman company -. A Biancoceleste legend and courageous captain in the difficult moments of the Club, Vincenzino, as many have always continued to call him, has made fans of several generations fall in love with his magic on the pitch and his infinite attachment to the shirt”.

“D'Amico played for Lazio from 1971 to 1980 and, after a year at Torino, from 1981 to 1986: he never lacked passion, commitment and dedication to the white and blue colours. President Lotito, on behalf of the entire Club, extends his most sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. We will never forget you, Vincenzo!”.
