Best wishes to Gigi Riva, who today, November 7th, extinguishes 75 candles on the cake.
What about Rombo di Tuono from Leggiuno, born in 1944? Nothing that Cagliari fans don't already know.
The biography of the ex-champion, icon of the 1970 rossoblu scudetto, in Sardinia, is known by heart.
As well as his incredible palmares: in addition to the title with Cagliari, Gigi has put a European Championship on the bulletin board with the National team (1968), a second place at the World Championships (1970), a second place at the Golden Ball (behind Gianni Rivera ) and the record of goals in blue, thirty-five, still unbeaten.
The goals. His daily bread: almost 250 those marked in his career, with an average of 0.56 per game.
A monster. A legend. Simply: Gigi Riva.
