The Gentle Giant.
But incredibly lethal.
John Charles, born in Swansea on 27 December 1931, made versatility his distinctive trait, excelling both as a defender and as a striker.
At Juve he was a formidable offensive force, forming a legendary duo with Omar Sivori. And without ever losing the ability to be strong, very strong, but incredibly correct (hence his nickname).
In Turin, in five seasons, he scored 108 goals in 155 games, contributing to the conquest of three league titles and two Italian Cups.
In the 1957-58 season he was the top scorer in Serie A with 28 goals.
Good, they said, but very bad in front of goal.

Juventus means victory. This is the simplest way to explain Juve, I said it many times in England when they asked me to talk about my Italian period and I didn't really want to talk. It's simple, I said, at Juventus you win
