Giuseppe "Bepi" Moro[1] (pronounced as /it/; 16 January 1921 – 28 January 1974) was an Italian footballer who played as a goalkeeper. An eccentric and athletic player, who was also an excellent shot-stopper, he is regarded as one of Italy's most spectacular keepers of all time;[2] he was also known for his penalty–stopping abilities: with 16 saves in 270 appearances between 1947 and 1955, he has stopped the fifth–highest number of penalties in Serie A, alongside Gianluigi Buffon.[1]
In eight season in Serie A, Giuseppe Moro defended the goal of six different teams: Fiorentina, Bari, Torino, Lucchese, Sampdoria and Roma.[2]
Moro made his debut with the Italy national team in 1949, producing some notable saves against Hungary.[3] During his second appearance, in a classic England–Italy match played in London, he showcased his best-known block: Stan Mortensen tried to get past Moro with a powerful and accurate shot which the Italian goalkeeper brilliantly denied.[4] Moro kept a clean sheet for 75 minutes, before giving up goals to Jack Rowley and Billy Wright, which did not diminish his outstanding performance.[5]
He also appeared with Italy in the 1950 World Cup in a win against Paraguay,[6] replacing the first-choice goalkeeper Lucidio Sentimenti, who had played the two previous matches.[7]
