Great Players: Attillo Lombardo

My first memory of Lombardo is seeing him on RTE's Monday night highlight package from Serie A. For some reason I thought it odd that a bald player could head the ball so well - I am far more open minded these days. Lombardo had the rather obvious nickname of "The Bald Eagle", and he would have stood out on any pitch for his distinctive appearance. What made Lombardo special for me was that he was that he stood out as an athlete - he was a player I could never hope to emulate. In the clips below, when he dribbles the ball goes 5+ yards ahead of him. He is not beating players with guile but with pace and occasionally power.
