'You are deader than the dead' - Juventus keeper Buffon hammers fans after Torino graffiti

The World Cup winner has condemned those who have insulted the memory of an iconic side who lost their lives in a plane crash back in 1949

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has hit out at insulting graffiti which appeared close to the location of a plane crash which took the lives of an iconic Torino team in 1949.

Walls on the road leading to the Superga site were defaced ahead of the 68th anniversary of the disaster on May 4.

Buffon has been left appalled by the actions of a minority and has called on the Juve faithful to show their true colours in a Turin derby date on Saturday.
