My Take
Angelo Peruzzi is, for my money, one of the most underrated goalkeepers Italy ever produced, and that's saying something in a country obsessed with the position. Three-time Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year, a Juventus and Lazio stalwart, he had cat-quick reflexes despite a stockier frame than the textbook keeper. The cruel irony is that he peaked in the Buffon and Pagliuca era, so caps never matched his quality. He's Italian, born near Viterbo in 1970, not American as the data says. Pundits rank him among Italy's greatest, and I think the wider football world still sleeps on him.
