Lazio remembers D’Amico movingly

Great sorrow and emotion in the world of Italian soccer for the passing of Vincenzo D’Amico, overcome by a serious illness fought with great courage.

“President Claudio Lotito and all of S.S. Lazio learn with extreme sorrow and deep emotion the news of the passing of Vincenzo D`Amico, undisputed protagonist of the 1973/74 Scudetto,” reads a note from the Capitoline club. “An biancoceleste legend and courageous captain in the difficult moments of the club, Vincenzino, as many have always continued to call him, made fans of several generations fall in love with his magic on the field and his infinite attachment to the jersey. 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 biancocelesti colors. President Lotito, on behalf of the entire club, extends his sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones.”

“We will never forget you, Vincenzo!” the last touching message from Lazio to his flag.
