Paolo Rossi

Gifted player in a winning team and as Tim says we all remember that 82 World Cup. A striker who relied on guile, speed and skill. Sadly I also remember the innuendo and outright nasty stuff from some sections of our press pursuing a homophobic agenda. It started with Paolo Rossi and ended in an absurd headline in I think NoW suggesting 7 members of the Italian squad were gay. No evidence of course.
