1. Hey Juve, There are loads that fit into that category. But if I narrow it down I can still not decide between Baggio, ( my fave) Mazzola, who was unstoppable until his tragic death and I also like Bettega, who suffered through ill health and injury to become a great striker for Juventus. They would have to be my personal top three. Very talented and thoroughly enjoyable and classy players.
2. I would have to say Alessandro Mazzola,he was a fantastic player.
