Several thousand people gathered outside Livorno's Armando Picchi stadium today to pay tribute to Piermario Morosini, the midfielder who died after collapsing on the pitch yesterday.
The 25-year-old suffered a suspected cardiac arrest in the 31st minute of Livorno's Serie B match at Pescara and was taken to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Fans left scarves and flowers outside the stadium, where a banner read: "You fought until the end, goodbye great Moro."
Morosini joined Livorno from parent club Udinese in January.
