Kurt Hamrin was the last remaining player from the 1958 World Cup team. Hamrin played for Juventus, AC Florence, AC Milan, SSC Napoli, plus Calcio Padova.

The nomad Hamrin found his home in Florence and lived here until his death. He scored 150 goals in the league for Fiorentina, something even the godlike Gabriel Battistuta later failed to achieve. The Swede soaked up Italy, the way of life, the sun, the enthusiasm of the Tifosi.
