Francesco Graziani

I have a soft spot for strikers like Francesco "Ciccio" Graziani, the kind who define an era at one club. Eight years at Torino, a Serie A title in 1976 and the Capocannoniere crown the year after - that is a forward who lived for the goal and earned the affection of a city. What I find more telling is that he stayed in the game as a coach afterward. Players who reach the top and then choose to teach reveal where their love really lies. The nickname Ciccio and his own personal website suggest a man at ease with his own history, and I respect that warmth.
