Hard work pays off for Zoff
Dino Zoff is a legend in Italy
To help mark UEFA's Jubilee, each national association was asked to nominate its most outstanding player of the past 50 years. In the latest in a series of articles looking at the Golden Player selected by the nations who have qualified for UEFA EURO 2008™, uefa.com remembers the career of Italy's Dino Zoff.
If you want an insight into the greatness of Dino Zoff, Italy's outstanding player of the last half-century, just cast an eye over the results of the Europe-wide survey conducted by uefa.com to find the best player of the last 50 years. In an extraordinary achievement for a goalkeeper Zoff was beaten only by Zinédine Zidane, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff and Marco van Basten. Indeed, he polled ahead of the likes of Alfredo Di Stéfano, Eusébio, Michel Platini, Paolo Maldini, Ferenc Puskás, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Lothar Matthaüs and Bobby Moore.
