Former Italy striker Salvatore "Toto" Schillaci, best known for being the top scorer at the 1990 World Cup, passed away at 59 on Wednesday after battling bowel cancer.
Juventus and other Italian football clubs honored Schillaci, who gained iconic status for his unexpected goals and Golden Boot win during the tournament held in Italy.
Schillaci's remarkable performance at the World Cup included six goals, helping Italy reach the semifinals, but his club career was more modest compared to his international success.
