Today would have been Astori's 33rd birthday... gone but never forgotten 💐

Today would have been Davide Astori's 33rd birthday.

He scored his first and only goal for Roma yesterday 5 years ago.

He joined Fiorentina in 2015, playing for the Viola until his end of life.

On 4 March 2018, Astori died in his sleep while staying in a hotel in Udine prior to Fiorentina's match against Udinese, proven to be caused by cardiac arrest determined from an autopsy conducted two days later.

His death had caused shock across the footballing world, and many coaches and players paid their respects.

Although Serie A introduced a new ruling ahead of the 2018–19 Serie A season, which introduced a standardized armband for all club captains, Fiorentina's new captain, Germán Pezzella, was granted an exemption by the league, and was allowed to wear a personalized captain's armband in tribute to Astori.

Football will always remember Davide Astori, forever.

Just send your blessings to him.
