Rossi's death saddened Italy, where he is considered one of the best strikers of all time.

He scored 20 goals in 48 games in the jersey of the Italian national team - including six goals at the 1982 World Cup.

He was a goalscorer at the club level in Vicenza and Juventus, with whom he won two Serie A titles.

It was in Vicenza that a large number of people gathered to say goodbye to the football great on Saturday.
