Seven goals went past him on his Italy debut in Budapest in 1924, a humiliation that cost him his place for a year and forged a goalkeeper who later went 934 minutes in Serie A without conceding. He captained Italy to the 1934 World Cup at home, first goalkeeper to lift the trophy, won five league titles with Juventus and Olympic bronze in 1928. Career record: 47 caps and 0 goals for Italy; club career at Juventus; honours include Hall of Fame.
