AZZURRO RECORDS: Roma is the fourth club with most World Champions who played in a World Cup Final in World Cup history (13). It is also the third Azzurro club with most World Champions - 11: 1934 - Attilio FERRARIS, Enrique GUAITA, Guido MASETTI; 1938 - Guido MASETTI, Eraldo MONZEGLIO, Pietro SERANTONI, Aldo DONATI who never played with the Italian National team although he formed part of the Azzurri Squad; 1982 - Bruno CONTI; 2006 - Daniele DE ROSSI, Simone PERROTTA, Francesco TOTTI. One Roma player formed part of the Azzurri squad that finished third in the 1990 World Cup: Giuseppe GIANNINI; and another finished fourth with the Azzurri in the 1978 World Cup: Paolo CONTI. Four Roma players finished Runner-up European Champions with the Azzurri in the European Nations Championship of 2000: Marco DELVECCHIO, Vincenzo MONTELLA, Francesco TOTTI and Francesco ANTONIOLI who never played with the Italian National team although he formed part of the Azzurri Squad. Three others finished fourth: 1980 - Romeo BENETTI, Roberto PRUZZO; 1988 - Giuseppe GIANNINI. Attilio FERRARIS won the 1928 Olympic Bronze Medal with the Azzurri when they finished third in the Football Tournament. Six Roma players won the Coppa Internazionale: 1930 - Attilio FERRARIS; 1935 - Luigi ALLEMANDI, Renato CATTANEO, Raffaele COSTANTINO, Enrico GUAITA, Eraldo MONZEGLIO. Four others formed part of the Italian Squad when the Azzurri finished second in the 1932 Coppa Internazionale: Fulvio BERNARDINI, Raffaele COSTANTINO, Bruno DUGONI, Attilio FERRARIS. Alberto ORLANDO is the player who scored most goals in his debut match in Azzurro - 4 goals and Marco DELVECCHIO scored Azzurro goal number 1100. Egisto PANDOLFINI is one of only ten Italian players who scored in the first minute of an Azzurro match whilst Francesco TOTTI is the only Azzurro player to be disqualified through TV footage. At 32 years, 6 months and 15 days, Max TONETTO was the third oldest player to make his debut in Azzurro. Francesco ANTONIOLI is the third most Unused Call-Up Azzurro player who never played with the Italian National Team (7 Unused Call-ups). Luigi ALLEMANDI was the Azzurri Captain in two matches when the Azzurri won the 1935 Coppa Internazionale, whilst Fulvio BERNARDINI was the Azzurro Captain for one match in the 1932 Coppa Internazionale when they finished second. Guido MASETTI won the 1934 and 1938 World Cups although he never played a game in both tournaments. He is thus one of only four players (all Azzurri) to be the first to win two World Cups and consecutive ones, the only European players in World Cup history to achieve this. |
