A legendary player and former Inter President who is loved and remembered fondly by everyone. The memory of Giacinto Facchetti never fades.

Today is his 73rd birthday and the Inter family pay tribute who truly was, as President Moratti put it, “everything a man should be.”

Inter.it released the following statement: “Footballer, club official, president. A life spent honouring our colours.

And Giacinto Facchetti was far more than that. A model of moral integrity, honour and fair play. A national and international football legend. A symbol of Nerazzurri style, on and off the field.

A star that was born 73 years ago and continues to shine brightly today, high up in the Inter universe.

Happy birthday, Giacinto.”
