Undoubtedly one of the greatest goalkeepers ever, Dino Zoff captained Italy on 59 occasions and to FIFA World Cup™ glory in 1982.

That triumph came during a 15-year international career that saw Zoff amass 112 caps in total to leave only Paolo Maldini and Fabio Cannavaro ahead of him in the Azzurri's all-time appearance records. Zoff made his international debut in the quarter-finals of the 1968 European Championships as Italy went all the way and won the tournament on home soil.

At club level, he was part of an all-conquering Juventus side that picked up six Serie A titles as well as the UEFA Cup in 1977 and Coppa Italia (twice). As a coach, Zoff took the Azzurri to the brink of glory at UEFA EURO 2000, only to suffer final heartache against hosts France.
