Italy 1982 World Cup Winners Rossi 20 Retro Football Shirt. After representing Italy in the 1978 World Cup Rossi was named in the 1982 squad despite only recently completing a 2 year ban as a result of the Totonero betting scandal. Things didn't start well with Italy scraping through the group stage with 3 draws against the relative minnows of Pol&, Peru & Cameroon with Rossi looking a long way off full fitness. The Azzurri went onto beat Argentina 2-1 in a brutal affair before Rossi opened his account with a hat-trick against pre tournament favourites Brazil. A brace followed for Rossi in the semi final victory over the Poles & he opened the scoring in the final to secure the Golden Boot, the Golden Ball & a World Cup Winners medal, a feat no other player has since achieved, this was followed up later in the year with both The European & World player of the year awards.
