Roberto Rosato (18 August 1943 — 20 June 2010) was an Italian defender. He played for 15 seasons (351 games, 10 goals) in the Serie A for A.C. Torino, A.C. Milan and Genoa C.F.C. He also played 37 matches for the Italy national football team from 1965 to 1973. He participated in two World Cups (1966 and 1970), and was part of the Italy team that won the 1968 UEFA European Football Championship. He was called “Angel Face” due to his facial traits contrasting with his determination on the field, Rosato is a central defender steady and reliable. Nereo Rocco noticed him and he wanted Rosato in order to reinforce the defence. With the rossoneri he won three Italian Cups, a League Title, two Cup Winners’ Cups, a Champions League and a European/South American Cup. After the rossonera experience he wore the Genoa t-shirt and he finished his career as a player with it. He was a landmark for the Italian National Team giving one of his best performance during his debut, West Germany — Italy 1-1, when he was called “Martello di Amburgo” for the determination showed on the field. With the Italian National Team he won the title of European Champion in 1968.
He was also a member of the team that lost 4–1 to Brazil in the 1970 FIFA World Cup Final. At the end of the game he swapped shirts with Pelé. He sold the shirt for a record £157,750 at auction in 2002.
