A central midfielder who was already an Italy international by the time of his arrival in the Italian capital in 1952, Roma spent what was then a club-record fee in order to bring the Fiorentina-raised player to the club.
Joining the Giallorossi after their return to Serie A following one season in the second division, Pandolfini was a key member of the group that re-established the Giallorossi as a proper force in Italian football.
In total he scored 29 goals for the club, while playing a huge part in the side that came third in the league in the 1954-55 season – the club’s best finish in Serie A between the outbreak of the Second World War and the mid-1970s.
In 1956, a serious knee injury effectively ended his career with Roma. With Italy he represented the side at two World Cups, in 1950 and 1954, scoring in both – making him one of only a handful of players (along with the likes of Roberto Baggio, Christian Vieri, Gianni Rivera, Giuseppe Meazza and Alessandro Del Piero) to do so.
Grazie, Egisto.
