Roberto Baggio - 30 years on since his Serie A debut: a tribute
30 years ago today, one of Italian football most famous ever footballers, Roberto Baggio, made his Serie A debut for Fiorentina against Sampdoria. The player nicknamed "Il Divin Codino" (The Divine Ponytail), went on to make 94 appearances for La Viola before making a controversial move to Juventus in 1990, where he made 141 appearances, scoring 78 goals. He also represented Milan, Bologna Inter and Brescia.
The photograph taken after his vital miss in the 1994 World Cup Final penalty shoot-out against Brazil (a tournament where he had single handedly dragged his country to the final) remains one of football's most iconic images. But let's remember the great things he brought to the game, with this compilation of some of his finest goals.
