Seems than the players of the INTER MILAN (the most negative team I ever witness on a football field in the sixties) from this generation died young.

Thanks, I suppose, to the great HELENIO HERRERA and his very particular method of "preparation" (this has been denonced by the brother of SANDRO MAZZOLA few months ago without much echoes.)

HERRERA, the official inventor of the infamous CATTENACIO (sp?) (and many other thing, it seems) was FRENCH, by the way.

Who else???

[P.L.M]

Who else???

From WIKPEDIA:

"Former player SANDRO MAZZOLA'S brother FERRUCIO has accused him (HERRERA) of using forbidden drugs to enhance the performance of his players while coaching INTER, what might have led to the premature death of some of his former players, among them ARMANDO PICCHI and MARCELLO GIUSTI."

So, FACCHETTI is now the third from the sixties team to have encountered a premature death.

But FERRUCIO has also accused HERRERA to have experiment his "cocktails" on the substitude like him.

Seems that FERRUCIO is himself sick today.

The answer of brother SANDRO to FERRUCIO'S accusation was (from memory)."Shut up. The dirty loundry must be wash only in the family" or something like that.

A great and interesting answer, indeed.
