For me personally, it’s a fixture that still conjures this absolute stonker from Gigi Casiraghi in 1992 💥💥

Nothing to see here, just King Sheva shaking off Davids, Iuliano, Montero and Pessotto, then smacking it past Buffon from 25 yards. Peter Brackley loves it. Superb.

Mancini, Vialli & Lombardo ran riot against Corrado Orrico's Inter in September 1991.

Orrico was dismissed later that season. Lombardo's goal celebration that afternoon was included in the C4 Football Italia title graphics the following year.

What a life.
