Happy Birthday Roberto Baggio!

Happy Birthday to Roberto Baggio, who today turns 51! Born in Caldogna, Vicenza, in 1967, he went on to become one of the most popular and talented players in recent times, notably enjoying one vital season with Bologna. During the 1997-98 Serie A campaign, the former Divine Ponytail (he wore his hair short with the Rossoblu) scored 22 goals in 30 matches for Ulivieri’s side, which was a personal record for the player. This rich vein of form helped him regain his spot in the squad for National Team just in time for the 1998 World Cup in France, which was just another chapter in one of the most extraordinary careers in world football. All the best Roby!
