Luciano Bodini (born 12 February 1954, in

Leno) is a retired Italian professional football player, who played in the position of goalkeeper
.

Career

Bodini began his career with

Inter (1990–91).[1][2]

According to some sources, he is among the few players to have won all three major

Inter, during the final season of his career, serving as a backup to Walter Zenga. Because of this, he was often known by the nickname: "the best reserve goalkeeper in Italy".[1][2]

Style of play

Despite his relatively small stature for a goalkeeper, Bodini was a reliable and effective shot-stopper, who stood out for the consistency of his performances throughout his career. A well-rounded keeper, he was equally known for his ability to come out and handle crosses, as well as his adeptness at rushing off his line or getting to ground quickly to parry shots.[1][2][4][5]
