Inter-Sampdoria in 1983 and Trevor Francis’ goal

Inter-Sampdoria of 1983 will remain in history for the British masterpiece against the Nerazzurri that caused the legendary radio commentator to lose his usual aplomb

From the radio came the voice of Sandro Ciotti, the unmistakable voice hoarse from millions of cigarettes, but this time he was more excited than usual.

He interrupted his colleague Ameri and left with an emphasis that was not usual to him.
