What with the side lacking any real form of word class striker as of late, what Azzuri fans would give to have a young and free scoring Luca Toni available for selection for this summers Euro’s.
The 38 year old veteran bowed out of professional football in a grand manner this weekend, scoring a glorious panenka during Verona’s impressive 2-1 victory of Serie A champs Juventus.
Whilst his side have already been condemned to relegation this season, the 2006 World Cup gave himself and Verona a moment of pure Italian genius to sign off on.
Naturally it led to his trademark ‘screw a light bulb in your ear’ celebration.
Standard.
And he bows out with an outrageous ‘Panenka’ penalty against the champions. #BTEFS https://t.co/pTgmhLZVCZ
