Nice card. Legend.

From my recent vacation in Italy I picked up a few 2019 soccer packs at a Giornali in Formia, a Panini Magazine with 2 packs and limited edition cards at Tabacchi Shop also in Formia at a super market called Panorama I picked up the Italian Kelloggs Coco Pops for the soccer stickers

For those of you who do not know who Ernst Willimowski is, he is reported to have scored more than a 1,000 goals and remains (from what I am told) a hard figure to deal with in Poland

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Wilimowski


Planicka was the greates Czech goalkeepers and is regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of his generation, and of all time, in 1999, the IFFHS elected him the best Czech goalkeeper – as well as the sixth best in Europe and the ninth best overall – of the twentieth century. In 2003, he was catalogued as the greatest goalkeeper of an era that included other notable keepers such as Ricardo Zamora and Gianpiero Combi.

What a great looking Di Stefano. I have sought thee, sung thee, dreamed thee.

[aljurgela]

I really love that Di Stefano... I also love some of the prizes that are offered on the back.... perhaps my favorite is the "iron" that you can get... sounds good chocolate and an iron.

Meazza is probably the greatest Italian footballer of all-time; at least in terms of his impact on the game.


You almost certainly know but, in case not, the stadium colloquially known as the San Siro (where both Milano clubs, Internazionale and AC Milan, play) is officially known as the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - in was names in his honour in 1980, a year after his death.


In practice, Inter fans tend to call the stadium by its official name as Meazza is a genuine legend of the club. However, AC Milan fans typically still call it the San Siro, and even the AC Milan club hierarchy tend to do this also. Whilst he did spend some time playing for AC Milan, it was at the very tail-end of his career and he is inevitably much more strongly associated with Inter than their city rivals.
