Juventus are today marking 25 years since the passing of former defender and Italy international Gaetano Scirea.
The centre-back enjoyed a decorated 14-year playing career with the Old Lady, winning 14 major honours at club level including seven Scudetti, the UEFA Cup and the European Cup.
Scirea also represented Italy 78 times and was part of the team that finished fourth in the 1978 World Cup and that went on to lift the 1982 World Cup.
Upon retiring in 1988, Scirea took up a position as a scout for Juventus, but tragedy struck just a year later when, on a scouting trip to Poland, the 36-year-old was killed in a car accident.
Juventus are today marking exactly 25 years since his untimely passing.
