Paulo Rossi. Italy’s World Cup hero of the 82 tournament. Aged 64. “A long illness”.
Scored a hat trick v Proper Mannies’ Brazil in the semi-final, and then scored the first goal v West Germany in the final. It was good to see three go past Harald Schumacher after his brutal assault on Battiston, in an otherwise terrific semi-final.
