Tarciso BURGNICH 1962-74
Another of the key members of Helenio Herrera’s Grande Inter of the 1960s,
his aggressive style fitted in perfectly with the catenaccio system that
worked so effectively. Following brief spells at Udinese, Juventus and
Palermo, Burgnich settled at San Siro as both a sweeper and a right-back
during his 467 games for the club and notched up 68 Azzurri caps on his way
to the 1968 European Championship title.
Antonio Valentin ANGELILLO 1957-61
The Argentine was perhaps one of the most natural talents to wear a
Nerazzurri jersey and still holds the Capocannoniere record in an 18-team
Serie A with 33 goals in the 1958-59 season. Joining from Boca Juniors at the
age of just 20, he was a hero for the fans, but clashed with strict Coach
Herrera and was sold after it was claimed his relationship with a nightclub
dancer was affecting his football.
