Sivori-style socks, George Best-style look: the idol of the bull that Agnelli also liked would turn 80 tomorrow
The Farfalla Granata flew away at 10.40 pm on 15 October 1967. It was a festive Sunday, Torino had won a good match against Sampdoria, at home, at the Comunale. Gigi Meroni was the right wing, he had the number 7. That evening he was going to a bar in the company of his friend Fabrizio Poletti. There was Domenica Sportiva, presented by Enzo Tortora. Gigi had told Fabrizio: “Let’s look at at least the part that concerns us, then we’ll leave”. They had dates with their girlfriends.
