I'm sure now you've mentioned him he won't have long.
He happened to also be Chelsea manager.

Norman Jewison: Renowned Canadian film director dies at 97 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68064514
The Italian football legend Gigi Riva, renowned for his extraordinary goalscoring ability and widely considered to be one of the greatest strikers of all time, died on Monday aged 79. Throughout his career, Riva garnered acclaim as one of the standout players of his generation, notching an impressive scoring record for Cagliari. His physical presence and powerful shooting earned him the nickname Rombo di Tuono (thunderclap). Riva played almost his entire club career with Cagliari and was Serie A top scorer when the Sardinian team won the Italian league title for the only time in their history in 1970. He was honorary president of the club at the time of his death.
Riva’s accomplishments extended to the international stage, where he triumphed in the 1968 European Championship and secured a runner-up spot in the 1970 World Cup, yielding only to the formidable Brazil team led by Pelé. He also represented Italy in the 1974 World Cup. With 35 goals in 42 official appearances between 1965 and 1974, Riva still tops the list of Italy’s all-time leading goalscorers. No currently active Italy international has even half of his career total.
