1990

Being a novice in the arena of national team competitions, Salvatore “Toto” Schillaci surprised everyone in the tournament of 1990. Six goals made him the tournament's top scorer, despite the hosts falling in the semi-finals. The Sicilian striker, who never went to school and grew up in poverty on the streets of Palermo's slums, is foremost remembered by the wild eyes when celebrating a goal. West Germany won the final against Argentina.
