The big dirty bastard.
Well I hope he enjoyed the glamorous lifestyle and the women, the cantankerous tomcat of an Italian.

Interesting article. I was only a kid and had a decent interest in football at the time, and always wondered how this name seemed to appear out of nowhere for one world tournament and then almost disappeared again.
Reading the article seems like his entire career peaked right in the middle of Italia ’90.
59 is too young. Ar dheis Dé.

A man who still looms large in the nightmares of Irish folk of a certain age, aswell as leaving Pakie Bonner shell shocked.
He may be an Italian #legend but he’s an iconic part of Irish Football’s history.
RIP Toto.
RIP Schillachi

Toto. He broke our hearts. We didn’t hold it against him. The epitome of a goal poacher. RIP
My friends dad asked me to come down to the GAA club and have a go, I was maybe 5. Scored a hat trick in my first game, and my friends dad like “that a boy Schillaci!” and because no one else really knew me the name stuck, sometimes still to this day.
Every now and again I’ll bump into an old friend and they’ll say “ah toto” or “ah schillaci whats up?”
RIP Toto, it was a pleasure to be given your name!
