“On this day, 47 years ago, Giancarlo Antognoni made the first appearance of a Fiorentina career that would see him go on to become a legend for Florence and indeed Italy as a whole. Starting on 15 October 1972, the Viola fans had the good fortune of watching the No.10 grace the purple jersey in Italy and around the world with inimitable class and elegance. Congratulations on this special day, Giancarlo.”
