Mario Corso, a key member of Helenio Herrera’s ‘Grande Inter’ side, has died at the age of 78.
“Mario Corso, an eternal champion with infinite class, has died,” said Inter in a statement.
“With his left foot, he enchanted the world in a team that marked an era. All our thoughts and affection go to his family at this difficult time.”
‘Mariolino’ spent the majority of his playing career with the Nerazzurri, playing 509 times for the club between 1957 and 1973.
He was the left winger in Herrera’s legendary team, winning four Scudetti, two European Cups and two Intercontinental Cups.
Although he picked up just 23 caps for Italy, failing to represent them at any major tournaments, he was nicknamed ‘God’s Left Foot’ for his free-kick and crossing ability.

Thank you for what you have gave us. I remember watching the semi finals in the European cup. It was in Vienna it was 8 pm start and Inter played At that time the great Real Madrid. The score was Mariolino 3 (inter ) Real Madrid 1. It was a magical performance. And when you had Corso MAZZOLA and Suarez who can stop Inter. His socks wher always rolled down. May you meet our other greats up in heaven especially Fachetti. Rest In Peace ☮️
