Salvatore "Totò" Schillaci, the legendary Italian footballer best known for his iconic performance in the 1990 World Cup, died in hospital in Sicily on Wednesday aged 59. Schillaci, who in addition to Italy played for Juventus and Inter Milan, had been receiving treatment for colon cancer for several years and was admitted to Palermo's Civico hospital in a serious condition earlier this month.
Tributes began flooding in on Wednesday morning for Schillaci whose impressive goal-scoring ability saw him being snapped up by Serie A club Juventus in 1989 after starting his professional football career in Serie B with Messina in the early 1980s. Schillaci quickly made an impact at Juventus, becoming a regular goal-scorer and helping the team to secure the Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup in 1990.
