Italy legend Salvatore Schillaci is d3ad

Former Italy forward Salvatore “Toto” Schillaci has d!ed aged 59, the Palermo hospital where he was being treated for colon cancer said a statement on Wednesday.

Schillaci rose to international fame at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he starred for the Azzurri, scoring six goals to win the golden boot.

Italy went on to finish third in the tournament, but Schillaci’s personal efforts were rewarded, beating Lothar Matthäus and Diego Maradona to win the golden ball as the tournament’s best player.

“A football icon is leaving us, a man who has entered the hearts of Italians and sports fans around the world,” Italy’s prime minister Giorgia Meloni posted on X.
