Toto Schillaci has left us. The former bomber of the Notti Magiche passed away at 59 years old after a battle with illness. Also remembering him Stephen Taconihis teammate at Juventus and also with the national team. “A sweet memory, of true friendship, we shared so much together. Yes, a brother. Even though when he arrived at Juve, now I can say, he had practically become my godson. He was disoriented, worried, he didn’t understand how to fit in and as captain I had taken him under my wing” he said to The Press.
Tacconi then told some anecdotes, including the famous fight with Baggio: “It’s all true. Totò was going through a difficult period, he was often nervous. Roby saw him in the locker room reading the newspaper and as a joke he started slapping the papers. “Damn” once, twice, then three times… In the end he punched him. And Boniperti fined everyone”.
