The world cup 1990 played in Italy , will always be remembered as the TOTO SCHELLACHI Cup.
Here was Toto Schellachi ,who was the fifth striker , and he came from the bench to score a goal.
He was behind Roberto Baggio, Gianluca Valli and Robert Mancini, and others.
But he took his chance with both hands and finished the tournament with coring six goals, and also won the golden boot.
That Italian team were very strong beside strikers they had Walter Zenga in goal and defenders Paulo Maldini, , Franco Barresi , Alexander Costacruta .
Italy let in their first goal in the quarter finals against Argentina , Claudio Canigga scored that goal. But they lost to Argentina in the penalty shoot out.
Toto Schelachi played for Juventus for a few years , he then moved to Japan , where he met Arsene Wenger , and he became a real Arsenal fan.
But what was surprising is he faded fast as he only had 16, sixteen caps for Italy.
He now lives in Palermo Sicily.
