Omar Sivori

Enrique Omar Sivori was an Italo-Argentine football forward and manager. He is most famous for his time with the successful Juventus side during the late 1950s and early 60s. At club level he also played for River Plate and Napoli.

Sivori's footballing talent was acclaimed and he won the coveted European Footballer of the Year in 1961 and was later named by Pele as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in the FIFA 100 during 2004.

Encyclopaedia Britannica describe his playing style as "audacious and brilliant". Sivori utilized his dribbling skills and favourite move of the nutmeg (playing the ball between an opposition players legs) to defeat defenders. Primarily a left footed player, Sivori had the ability to score with his left, his right and despite his relatively short stature his head; this would sometimes see him receiving kicks to the face.
