The attacking maestro was a one-of-a-kind genius for the seven Italian clubs he played for across 20 remarkable years. But it was on the world stage, while playing for Italy, that the Baggio legend was born.
The first English-language book to examine Baggio’s Italy career across his three World Cups, this riveting tome:
? Covers each match in which Baggio played in World Cup Italia 1990, USA 1994 and France 1998
? Uncovers the stories surrounding the ‘Divine Ponytail’ in the season leading up to each World Cup
? Reveals how Baggio came very close to playing in a fourth World Cup in 2002
