Farewell to Tarcisio Burgnich, the Timeless “Rock” of the Grande Inter
Inter defender Tarcisio Burgnich, the timeless “number two” of the Nerazzurri lineup across the 1960s, passed away on Wednesday at 82 years of age. A master of the Italian art of no-nonsense defending, he was known as “The Rock” and his very name sounded granitic and impassable.
