Lega Serie A have given Lazio the green light to wear a captain’s armband dedicated to former captain Pino Wilson, who sadly passed away on the weekend.
Wilson was the captain of Lazio’s Scudetto winning side in the 1973/74 season, making him one of the most important players in the club’s history. He spent 11 years of his career with the Biancocelesti from 1969 to 1980, making 296 Serie A appearances in total.
