My Take
I have always been drawn to goalkeepers, so Ivano Bordon is right up my alley. Born near Venice in 1951 and rated among Italy's finest in an era when the whole country worshipped defensive discipline, he earned that reputation the hard way. The Gold Collar for Sports Merit feels fitting for a man who guarded the last line while flashier teammates took the glory. Keepers live a lonely, thankless craft, and the best of them carry a calm that borders on stubbornness. Bordon strikes me as exactly that type, and I salute the unsung guardians of the goal with genuine admiration.
