Giuseppe Casari (Italian pronunciation: [dʒuˈzɛppe kaˈzaːri]; 10 April 1922 − 12 November 2013)[2] was an Italian footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[3]
Career
Born and raised in
Napoli where he earned four caps for the national team, although he never secured a permanent starting position (the national team had called up 12 goalkeepers in a matter of 15 years). He ended his career after three seasons with Padova
in 1956.
Style of play
Casari was known in particular for his imposing physique and agility as a goalkeeper, which allowed him to excel in this role. He was also known for his leadership and correct behaviour throughout his career, which earned him the nickname "il gigante buono" (the good giant).[2]
