Franco Baresi has died at the age of 66, with AC Milan saying their former captain's "example and integrity will be forever etched into the club's DNA".
'The Monster' was a beast of a defender: tough as nails; an unrelenting presence in one of the all-time great defensive lines in World football. His partnership with Costacurta was unbreakable, leading them to an era of unparallelled glory in the history of Milan...
Three European cups and two Super Cups; two Intercontinental trophies; Six Serie A titles; four Supercoppa and was in the national side that won the World Cup in 1982. A damn shame he never lifted the trophy as captain but his place in football history is well deserved.

Sad news indeed.
Was just thinking a few weeks back that I hadn't heard anything from him in a while.
Proper no nonsense, say it like it is kind of guy. Had me in stitches many a time!
RIP Rod.
