My Take
Marchegiani is one of those goalkeepers I think of as a craftsman rather than a showman. Most casual fans remember the headline names from Italy's run to the 1994 World Cup final, but he was right there in that squad, and his long stretches with Torino and Lazio tell me he was trusted at the highest level for years. Standing 188cm, he had the frame you want between the posts. What strikes me is how quietly durable his career looks. He's not flashy on paper, yet the trophies he picked up at Lazio say plenty about consistency over a long Serie A run.
