The 1988 Dutch side had some of the great players of all-time

#2 Antonio Cabrini

Antonio Cabrini won everything with Juventus

If Scirea was one of the greatest central defenders of all time, Cabrini was one of the greatest full-backs. Cabrini, a left-footed, highly-technical player, spent 13 seasons with Juventus (1976-1989) and managed to win everything.

He joined Juventus in 1976 and immediately formed an exceptional defensive trio along with Scirea and Gentile. With the Bianconeri, he won six Serie A titles, two Coppa Italias, one European Cup (the former Champions League), one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Cup (the former Europa League), one UEFA Super Cup and one Intercontinental Cup. Thus, he won every official UEFA and FIFA club competition and he is one of the six players that have ever managed to do so.

The Bell'Antonio (nicknamed after his good-looking posture) also won the World Cup with Italy in 1982. In 1989, he left Juventus to join Bologna where he retired two years later. His technical and athletic abilities helped him revolutionize the role of the full-back, with regards to the creation of attacking situations. He scored 33 goals in his 297 appearances with Juventus.

About the author

I am a graduate of English Language and Literature of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and I am currently completing my MA studies in Modern Journalism. I am a huge fan of European Football, especially Calcio.
As far as my work experience is concerned, I was a senior writer and one of the founding members of a Greek website called "sportsdaily.gr". This website was devoted to European football and especially news about the greatest European clubs. I was in fact solely responsible for Serie A. As a result, in the nearly 2 years of the website running live, I had written over 2,000 pieces of match analysis, match previews as well as news in general.
Lastly, I have been working as a sports journalist for "Yellow Radio 92,8", a radio station based in Thessaloniki, Greece which deals with Aris Thessaloniki FC, one of the greatest and historic clubs in Greece. As part of my role, I conduct research on Aris' next opponents reviewing their strengths and weaknesses.
