My Take
Selvaggi appeals to me as the kind of striker the modern game has nearly forgotten. Born in Pomarico in Italy's Matera province in 1953, standing only 171 cm, he succeeded on instinct and positioning rather than physical dominance, the hallmark of an old-school poacher. Earning the Gold Collar for Sports Merit signals real recognition at home, and his later turn to coaching suggests he wanted to pass that goal-scoring sense on. I am always drawn to athletes who rise from small, hardscrabble towns to national prominence. His is a quietly romantic story of ambition outsizing stature.
