INFO:

He played as centre half and wing half, imposed with his strong physique and detemination, not blessed with great pace but had solid footwork and was useful in starting the attacks from the back line. Sometimes lacked self confidence and decision in his moves, he was in charge of marking dangerous centre forwards. Born in Padova on 3 March 1924, debuted in football shirt of S. Bassanello. In 1946 he was bought from AC Milan where he shows his undoubted qualities.
