That Toto

The guy na meme

RIP to him

I remember him so well. Toto Schillaci is a name I will never forget. May his soul rest in peace.

Though I wonder how he came about the nickname, "Toto". Lol

Rest in peace Champ!

As a Milan fan I learnt about him through one Italian podcast where he was regarded as "one tournament wonder" And that tournament was Italia 1990

The stars and vibe of the Italia 90 World cup kind of formed the blueprint for the console game International superstar soccer deluxe! on Sega Mega Drive. Characters like Van Wijk of Netherlands (Gullit), Allejo (Careca) etc were iconic.

RIP to one of the World cup greats Schillaci. Then, Nigerians typically called anyone with some show-off skills Schillaci even though he himself was not so much skillful.

Schillaci was a very vibrant and animated player in his time.He really blew my mind away in Italia 90.
Rest In Power Legend.

"Toto" of the Italia 90 World cup squad.

The first black man to play for the Azurri of Italy . Very skillful footballer during World cup in Italia 90.

OboOlora:
RIP Legend, I knew the name from way back but always spelt it as SKILLACHI cos I thought it was a nickname for his SKILLS.

Wetin this one dey talk? Schillachi black man?

I watched all the matches live. I was 26yrs old then. The commentator referred him as a black man. They said he was the first to play for Italy. You people liked to argue with elder state man . It is not everyone on Nairaland that are indomie generations. The forum is also meant for elders as well. I know what I was saying. Always show respect when you are responding to people comments. Ok.

Hagi not haji

And yet another fellow who made football memorable in those days...goes home.

Journey well Signor Schillachi.

Journey well.

Dude I don't care about how old you are, what makes you think I am indomie generation? You are here bragging about age but spewing lies and misinforming people.
I left secondary school 1985 July make me 55 years on earth you are not the only elder here so please rest we are not here to drag age. I only pointed to your false comment.
If you are matured enough all you need do is to explain yourself instead of talking about age as if you senior everybody on earth.
If the commentator refers to him as black may be he was drawing a correlation.
If however he was truly black please educate me of his origin I want to learn.
