Giuseppe "Bepi" Moro[1] (Italian pronunciation: [dʒuˈzɛppe ˈmɔːro]; 16 January 1921 – 28 January 1974) was an Italian footballer who played as a goalkeeper. An eccentric and athletic player, who was also an excellent shot-stopper, he is regarded as one of Italy's most spectacular keepers of all time;[2] he was also known for his penalty–stopping abilities: with 16 saves in 270 appearances between 1947 and 1955, he has stopped the fifth–highest number of penalties in Serie A, alongside Gianluigi Buffon.[1]
