Dino Zoff was one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of the game and, at forty, the oldest man to captain a World Cup-winning side, lifting the trophy for Italy in 1982. Calm, unflappable and impeccably positioned, he built his reputation on reliability rather than flamboyance.
At club level he was a pillar of Juventus, winning a wealth of Serie A titles and European honours, having earlier starred for Napoli. He once set a record for the longest run without conceding an international goal, a testament to his consistency and command.
