-

Fabio Grosso smashed home Italy’s winning spot- kick in the 2006 World Cup Final against France, having netted the Azzurri’s crucial late extra- time goal against Germany in the semi- finals. So, what happened next? Well... er, not much. After a disappoint­ing season at Inter, the left- back won Ligue 1 at Lyon, but by 2010 had largely been frozen out at Juventus. Still: he’ll always have that night in Berlin.
