Italy’s Bergomi grows younger with age

Look at photographs of Giuseppe Bergomi from the 1982 World Cup finals and you could be forgiven for thinking he has grown younger as the years have passed.

The 18-year-old Bergomi who won the tournament in Madrid was a serious young man with a furrowed brow and a bushy black moustache.

The version who comes to France with Cesare Maldini's Italy squad is a relaxed 34-year-old with a boyish crew-cut, a ready smile and piercing slate-blue eyes which conceal a wealth of World Cup experience.
