Short answers, pulled from the story.
Paolo Rossi was born in the Santa Lucia district of Prato, Tuscany on the 23rd of September 1956. He began his professional journey with Juventus during the 1972, 73 season but struggled to find a place in the first team.
Paolo Rossi received a three-year disqualification from football due to match-fixing allegations linked to the Italian betting scandal known as Totonero during the 1979, 80 season while playing for Perugia. This punishment was later reduced to a two-year ban which effectively ended his participation in major tournaments until 1981.
Paolo Rossi scored six total goals during the 1982 FIFA World Cup including a hat-trick against Brazil and two goals in the semi-final win over Poland. His six total goals earned him both the Golden Boot and the Golden Ball awards while he became directly responsible for 58% of his team's goals during the tournament.
After his return from suspension, Juventus repurchased Paolo Rossi in 1981 and he helped the club win the 1981, 82 Serie A title along with the Coppa Italia trophy the following season. He secured his second Scudetto in 1984 while scoring thirteen league goals and helped Juventus win the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Super Cup that same year.
At Juventus Paolo Rossi played as a supporting forward or centre-forward known as a centravanti di manovra which functioned similarly to the modern false nine position within Italian football jargon. He operated primarily in the penalty area yet began his career as a right winger before using his agility and technique to excel despite his relatively short stature.
