Where the hell do you get these questions ??? You are doing my head in. I know 2 for sure off the top of my head (the 3rd, I think I know), the rest I would have to guess:
3. Close to my heart: 1982. Alessandro Altobelli came on around the 10th minute for Ciccio Graziani. He got subbed late on for Franco Causio. Remember it like yesterday. He also scored (along with Rossi and Tardelli).
4. He got sent off.
8. Baggio against the Irish in 1994 to make way for Marcheggiani after Pagliuca got sent off. Italy were behind.
