  • Summary

  • In this episode, we discuss Fiorentina’s love affair with the Number 10 shirt, as told through the Viola careers of three of the club’s greatest icons: Giancarlo Antognoni, Roberto Baggio and Rui Costa.
    My guest’s the perfect person to help guide us through the Fiorentina phase of their careers: Giancarlo Rinaldi - a true pioneer of Italian football media coverage in the UK and life-long Viola fan.

    Shownotes:
    A massive thank you to Giancarlo for being a fantastic guest on the pod. We've been in contact for a number of years, with him always kindly helping with any questions I've asked or research I've needed to do, so it was nice to finally spend some extended time chatting together.
    You can follow Giancarlo on Twitter @ginkers and find his excellent, ludicrously cheap books '20 Great Italian Games' here and '20 Great Italian Games II' here.

    Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Roberto Baggio! You can find a collection of my articles on him on my website fantasista10.co.uk.
