A Juventus fan had an unusual request on his funeral notice. “In lieu of flowers, please send Cristiano Ronaldo goals.”
The 77-year-old nicknamed Il Doro, real name Mario Stefanini, died on Thursday and his funeral was held on Saturday afternoon.
As is customary in Italy, a poster was printed up and placed in the town of Fornaci di Barga, near Lucca, to announce his death.
“Mario Stefanini, ‘Il Doro’, aged 77. His children and family announce the sad news.
“The funeral will be on Saturday at the Loppia cemetery.
“In lieu of flowers, please send CR7 goals.”
There is a trend now to urge charity donations in lieu of flowers, although it remains to be seen if Ronaldo will have a special dedication for the dearly departed fan.
