John Charles by Mario Risoli
In Italy, where he played for Juventus and Roma, Charles was known as Il Gigante Buono the Gentle Giant because of his placid temperament. Charles went on to score an incredible 105 goals in 178 appearances for I Bianconeri the Black and Whites and helped them to win three Series A titles in five years.
