Roberto "Bob" Vieri (born 14 February 1946) is an Italian retired professional footballer who played as a striker or as an attacking midfielder or winger. Active in both Italy and Australia, Vieri made nearly 300 professional career league appearances, scoring over 50 goals. He also represented Italy at under-23 level, scoring a goal in five appearances.[2][3]

Personal life

Vieri was born in Prato. His sons Christian and Max are also professional footballers, who both appeared at the international level respectively for Italy and Australia.[2][3]

Career

Vieri started playing in the Fiorentina youth system before being loaned to Prato in 1964/1965, where he scored 11 goals in 24 matches and caused interest by Sampdoria of Serie B. He played for Sampdoria, both in Serie B and Serie A, until 1969/1970, when Juventus signed him for a then-record 800 millions ITL bid, plus Francesco Morini and Romeo Benetti. The next year, Vieri moved to AS Roma; in 1973/1974 he played for Bologna, where he stayed until January 1977, when he decided to accept an offer by Australian football club Marconi Stallions, becoming one of the first Italian footballers to play abroad. He played with the Australian club until 1982, except for a one-year stint back at Prato. In 1983 he moved to Queanbeyan (New South Wales) where he became the player/coach of NSW State League club Inter Monaro for one year. In 1984 he returned to Sydney as part of the Marconi Stallions coaching staff.[2][3]
