Gaetano Scirea: a blue Italy No.6 international jersey circa 1976, long-sleeved Juventus's Gaetano Scirea is considered by many to have been one of the greatest defenders of all time and is one of only five European players to have won all international trophies contested by club sides fully recognised by UEFA and FIFA. Scirea is also one of only nine players in the history of the European football that won all three major UEFA football competitions. He played for the Italian national team for more than a decade, during which he was an undisputed member of Italy's defensive line-up, keeping Franco Baresi out of the national team for four years, until he retired in 1986. Scirea won a Wolrd Cup winner's medal in Spain in 1982. Scirea was a defender of technical skill and tactical ability, gifted with pace, and an innate capacity to read the game, and was renowned for his fair play and sportsmanship, never being red carded in his entire career. In 1989 Scirea visited Poland as an observer to watch Gornik Zabrze ahead of a UEFA Cup tie scheduled against Juventus. Tragically, he was involved in a head-on collision with a truck near Babsk and was killed on impact together with two of the three other car passengers.
