World Cup legend Salvatore Schillaci has died,aged 59,after a battle with colon cancer.
The Italian icon,who lit up the nation's home World Cup in 1990,played for Juventus and Inter in a glittering career spanning 384 matches,scoring 159 goals.
The most famous of these came during that iconic summer where Schillaci went from relative unknown to regular starter in a competitive Azzurri squad.
He ended the tournament clutching the Golden Boot award,having struck six times for Italy,as well as the Player of the Tournament trophy.
The agile striker,who came second in that year's Ballon d'Or,then struggled for form at his club sides,scoring just eight goals in 42 matches for Juventus the following season.
After a spell at Inter,Schillaci ended his career in Japan with Júbilo Iwata where he enjoyed a fruitful time in front of goal.
The former centre-forward leaves behind three children: Jessica,Mattia and Nicole.
