Valentino, Mi Amore.

When people ask me who I think the greatest footballer of all time (they don't, actually. I have no idea why.) I defer from the usual Peledona answer, and say Valentino Mazzola. Valentino Mazzola is, despite his high standing among devotees of calcio, one of the most underrated players ever. Though I am but a humble scribe of calcio etc etc (that line seems familiar), I will try my best to fully cover this man's glorious career.
