In the book they’ve just signed Lazio legend Chinaglia – who’s had to leave Italy after becoming a national villain for calling his manager a ‘Vaf***ulo’ in front of millions at the ’74 World Cup final against West Germany.
PS - If I haven't said so already - many thanks for 'School - not arrived yet, but thanks for sending!
