Short Biography
Roberto Anzolin (born 18 April 1938) is a former Italian footballer, who played as a goalkeeper. During his prime, he was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Italy, due to his consistency and shot-stopping ability. He was an effective, reactive, and agile goalkeeper, with a good positional sense, who was very quick to come off his line and collect low balls in the area, although at times he was caught out on crosses as he was neither particularly tall nor physically imposing. Because of his name, agility, and his relatively small and slender stature for a goalkeeper (1.76m), he was given the nickname "the mosquito". He was a member of Italy's squad at the 1966 FIFA World Cup. During his successful time with Italian club Juventus, he met and married his wife, Gabriella. Together, they have two children.
