Aldo Agroppi was a combative, hard-running midfielder who became synonymous with Torino in the late 1960s and 1970s. Fiercely committed and quick to the tackle, he embodied the industrious spirit of the club during a period of steady revival.

He later carved out a long career in management, but it was as a wholehearted competitor in the Torino shirt that he first earned his reputation.
