Happy 50th Birthday Roberto Baggio: A tribute to Italy’s greatest footballer

Almost thirteen years on from his retirement, one of Italy’s greatest ever footballers Roberto Baggio has turned 50 years old.

Considered a club legend at Fiorentina, Juventus, Brescia, among others, il Divin Codino was able to dribble the ball and curl in a free-kick like no other.

With a total of 205 Serie A goals to his names, ‘Robi’ now celebrates his very own half-century and to celebrate, Nicholas Carroll has paid tribute the Italian icon.
