Gigi Riva Celebrates 50-Year Italy Goalscoring Record Anniversary
Little did anyone expect Gigi Riva to hold on to his record of being Italy’s top goalscorer for 50 years. The Azzurri legend last scored a goal back on 20 October 1973, taking his tally to 35 goals from 42 caps, when Italy beat Switzerland 2-0 in the 1974 World Cup qualifiers.
