My Take
Bobo Vieri is pure nostalgia for anyone who loved football in his era. A towering 185cm centre forward who played dead-centre and bullied defenders, he was the archetype of the classic Italian number nine. His path fascinates me: born in Bologna, raised in Australia as a child, then returning to Italy to forge a career that dominated much of Serie A. A Cancer born in 1973, he had that quiet inner fire under a brash exterior. His explosive 1998 World Cup run still lives in my memory. We may never see a striker quite that gloriously old-school again, and I will keep championing him.
