My Take
There's a certain striker I'll always love, and Altobelli is the type: the man who simply appears where the goal is. Nicknamed Spillo, the Needle, for his slender frame, he threaded into spaces and scored in Italy's 1982 World Cup final. I'm drawn less to flash than to that instinct for being in exactly the right place, the craftsman's nose for goal. The fact that he later played beach soccer tells me he just loved the ball. To me he embodies the unshowy, dependable finisher that great teams are quietly built on.
