Great player was boss at Fiorentina.

One of my all time faves.

Easily in my top ten players ever.

Awesome documentary online somewhere about him.

Hero of mine. Ultra loyal to his teams.

And absolute boss at taking pennos.

Loved that Fiorentina team with Rui Costa as number 10 behind Batistuta

Roger Milla · October 22, 2015

Loved him back in the day. Anyone remember Passarella refusing to select him for Argentina until he got his haircut lol

I've just watched all 50 there and now I want him to start alongside Lukaku on Saturday.

My favourite non Everton player of all time.

Top Quality. Lovely hair too.

A God amongst mere mortals. His hair was a thing of beauty.

Tremendous, was a pleasure to watch. The amount 1-0 wins Fiorentina got with him nicking the winner was astonishing. They built a statue of him in Florence after he left I think. Great all round striker who scored with both feet and his head.

He [and Signori ] were one of the reasons i loved watching the footy on ch 4,when they 1st had the Italian footy.

Loved Signori one yard run up for pennos (until he missed one and he looked like a bit of a tit ). Him and Mancini were boss at Sampdoria.

Batistuta though, what a top top player he was.

The original Ronaldo just pips him to the top spot of my favourite striker ever award

A classic striker. Not a number 9 or 10 or whatever you call them nowadays

Great hair
Great goals
Great kits
Great celebrations

Italian football was so good back then
