My Take
Igor Protti is the kind of striker I genuinely respect, the prowler who lives in the penalty area and punishes a half-second of hesitation. Born in Rimini in 1967, he built a name as a prolific, opportunistic finisher rather than a flashy showman, and I find that purity appealing. There's something deeply Italian about a goalscorer whose whole identity is reading the box better than anyone marking him. That he later returned to Livorno as general manager tells me the game stayed in his blood long after the boots came off. A career striker who became a club's caretaker feels like a story that closed its own loop.
Overview
