Historic soccer TV presenter and
journalist Luigi Necco died aged 83 in his native Naples on
Tuesday.
Necco was one of the first presenters on the pioneering 90/0
Minuto programme in the 1970s.
A cultured man who loved archaeology, Necco was famed for his
colourful accounts of matches, framed by the San Paolo faithful
in the background.
In the 1980s and 1990s comedian Teo Teocoli took Necco as
inspiration for a hilarious impression of a Neapolitan football
broadcaster.
