Paulo Rossi was a pin up idol during the golden period of Italian football in the 80's. After serving a two year ban for match fixing Rossi was a surprise inclusion in the Italian 82 World Cup Finals squad. After a faltering start in the group stages Rossi scored a hat-trick against Brazil in a 3-2 victory and went on to lead Italy to World Cup victory including a goal in the Final against Germany and with it the Golden boot and the Golden ball - the only player to have ever won all three honours in a tournament! An iconic figure of Italian football Paulo Rossi went on later that year to grab the European player of the year and the World football of the year for 1982.
In terms of his autograph it is a particularly rare signature to obtain. The following selection of 12x8 glossy photos have all been hand signed by the man himself and mark a worthy addition to any collector or Italian football fan. His signature is a lovely loopy autograph and like a lot of players of his era it actually spell's his name and you can almost make out every letter. Special signed photos and something that over the years will always hold there value....
This huge glossy photo measures an impressive 16" x 12" and has been autographed not once but twice by Paulo Rossi in a blue marker. The first signature is over the World Cup Final goal in 82 against Germany and the second is a huge signature across his two profiles at the bottom. As if that wasn't enough Rossi has added the date of the Final in what finishes an extraordinary and highly collectable piece of signed football memorabilia. £99.95 CODE:ROSSIDATED
