Fabio Cudicini (Italian pronunciation: [ˈfaːbjo kudiˈtʃini]; born 20 October 1935) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper from 1955 to 1972. Standing at 1.91 m (6 ft 3 in), he was one of the tallest goalkeepers of his time. Despite never playing for the Italy national football team, he is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers of his generation, and as one of Italy's best ever goalkeepers.[1] Cudicini is mostly remembered for his highly successful and dominant stint with A.C. Milan, and he is one of the most celebrated goalkeepers in the club's history, helping them win the 1969 European Cup Final in particular, among other domestic, European, and international titles.[2][3][4]
