GAETANO SCIERA. THE BEST DEFENDER.

Gaetano Sciera was a very famous Italian footballer. He played as a defender.
He was born on 25/5/1953. HE DIED IN A CAR CRASH IN THE CITY OFSkierniewice in Poland. On 3/9/1989 at the age of36 years. He had gone to Poland as a scout , looking for young talent, for his old club Juventus. He played only for two clubs n his club days, they were Atlanta from1972 to 1974 and Juventus from 1974 to 1988.
His playing position was as a sweeper and so good he was that he kept out the great Franco Baresi from the natinol team for a period of four years. Franco Baresi got a chance only after he retired from the natinol team. He played for Italy for a period of 12 years, from1974 to 1986.
As a defender he was a very graceful, talented, tactful and was renownedclass and sportsmanship, he was never ever booked in all hisplaying days.
He was oneof five players in Europe history to win all natinol and iternatinol trophies recognised by F.I.F.A and U.E.F.A. Along with Danny Blind, Sergio Brio ,Antonio Cabrini, andStefano Taccossi.
AND HE NEVER WAS ruthless in his tackles likeother defenders.
