My Take
As a football fan, I cannot overlook Silvio Piola. He is genuinely one of the great strikers in Italian history, a record-setter whose name still surfaces whenever the country's all-time scorers are debated. I love that he came from tiny Robbio in the Province of Pavia and rose to represent the nation, a 178-centimeter striker who simply knew how to find the net. That he later turned to coaching shows a man who gave his whole life to the game. To me, players like Piola laid the foundation that today's stars unknowingly run on, and that earns lasting respect.
