Yes, just after he transferred to Milan he crashed his Ferrari quite badly, was out for about a year and never the same player again.

My interest in Italian football and from there, other aspects of Italian culture can be traced back to that show. I remember tuning in to the first shows back in 1992 and loving the whole scene. Since then I've always followed what is going on in the Italian game (on and off the pitch), read a few decent books, even learned a bit of the language as well.

Much more defensive, granted. And generally slower pace as well. But skill level seemed higher or maybe its just nostalgia etc but loved the whole Italian gig then and still do.
Know what you mean about most games ending 1-0 but saw Lazio play Salernitana (Salerno) and it finished 6-1 to Lazio after Salernitana were 1-0 up. And the away fans stormed the gates. Pissed all over World of Sport with Dickie Davies

some memories here.
