My Take

Agostino Di Bartolomei moves me more than most players I read about. An elegant midfielder-turned-sweeper, revered as one of A.S. Roma's greatest, yet never once capped by Italy, he is the archetype of talent that the record books quietly fail. I find that omission genuinely unjust, the sort of thing that says more about selection politics than ability. And knowing he took his own life in 1994 casts everything in a sadder light. What stays with me is the quiet authority he carried on the ball, the sense of a footballer who thought the game rather than merely played it. A true Roma icon.

Overview

Agostino Di Bartolomei (8 April 1955 in Rome – 30 May 1994 in San Marco di Castellabate) was an Italian football player, who played as a midfielder or as a defender, in a sweeper role. Famed for his elegance on the ball and playmaking skills, he is regarded as one of A.S. Roma's greatest players ever, and one of the greatest Italian players never to have been capped by the Italy national team.
