New Delhi, May 27 -- Twice a World Cup winner, Giuseppe Meazza could arguably be described as Italy's most successful international ever. Born in Milan in 1910, Meazza signed for Internazionale at the age of 17, and grew into one of the most complete, and feared strikers in the world. His trademark shuffle in one-on-one situations gave nightmares to opposition defenders and goalkeepers alike. In just his second season at Inter, Meazza scored 33 goals. In 1929-30, the first season of the Serie A, he finished top scorer with 31 goals in 33 games. He was Italy's most prolific scorer through the decade, and were it not for World War II, there is no doubt he would have gone on to score more. Meazza made his debut for the Azzuri in 1930, scoring twice against Switzerand. Against the strong Hungarian side of the 30s, he scored a hattrick.
