The goals of the magical nights of Italia 90 have inscribed Totò Schillaci, of San Giovanni Apostolo, of Palermo, in the history of Italian football. Goals for the national team, goals with the Juventus jersey. In that unfortunate World Cup for the Azzurri – we finished third – Totò was the top scorer. And in 1990, he even came second in the Ballon d'Or ranking. In 1994, Totò left Inter for Jubilo Iwata. In Japan, Totò immediately became an idol. After hanging up his boots in 2004, he moved from the green pitch to the small screen with The Island of the Famous.
