A statue for… Simone Perrotta. Him: “I have no words”

The former Roma midfielder, world champion with Italy in 2006, has returned to Ashton-under-Lyne, the town in England where he was born in 1977. Here a statue has been dedicated to him which portrays him together with two other champions of the past born in Ashton-under-Lyne who instead won the World Cup with England in 1966, exactly 40 years before Perrotta.
