    Lit up Italia 90 with his goalscoring flair, passed away from cancer at the age of 59.

    How sad. One of the iconic figures of my first World Cup.

    I'll always remember a comment from John Motson, when Ireland played Italy in the 1990 World Cup Quarter Final. Mick McCarthy had just fouled Schillaci and Motson said " Schillaci gives McCarthy his infamous Sicilian stare. Not that it will bother someone from Barnsley whatsoever!"
    R.I.P. Toto. Gone far too soon.

    RIP Toto. Was a real bolt from the blue with his goalscoring at Italia 90.
