Get the feeling Gianni Rivera was an Italian international not French. Minor mistake! Very good stat sheet doh, kudos!
Looks like I can`t fool you... You`re right. I copied & pasted this from the previous player I did, which was Platini, I forgot to change it from France to Italy. The year 1947 happened unconsciously as I was reading a report on Cruijff shortly before, and he was born in 1947. Sorry!
