Bruno Conti was a diminutive, twinkle-toed winger whose dribbling and creativity made him one of the most beloved players in AS Roma’s history. Two-footed and unpredictable, he could beat defenders on either side and deliver the decisive pass or cross.

He was central to Roma’s league title and their run to a European Cup final, and he shone for Italy as a World Cup winner, one of the stars of that celebrated campaign.
