An icon of the 82 World Cup.  Just seemed to peak for that competition.


64 is no age at all.  :-(

    Only 3 years older than me - Recall that WC like it was yesterday and of course the hero status that Paolo acquired for his goals and the Italian win

    Being of Italian heritage I loved the Italian side of the 80s - cynical and gritty in defence but lots of flair going forward .England were in the doldrums so as soon as they got knocked out I could cheer for the land of my forefathers :-)

    Fantastic finisher , RIP

    That Italy-Brazil game in the 82 World Cup is one of the tournament's greatest games.

    100% agree, and it had one of the greatest goals ever too, imho...

    Check the two dummy runs - that pull the defence in 2 directions. Sublime.

    Good strike but that is atrocious defending. Nobody within 5 yards of him when he hits it! You can see Zoff fuming....understandably.

    I remember him at that World Cup. He was brilliant. No age.. :/
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.
