Gianpiero Combi (20 November1902 – 12 August1956) is a former Italianfootball player. He has played for Italy national team. Nicknamed Fusetta for his remarkable agility, despite being little used to flashy interventions, his confidence and leadership made him a highly reliable goalkeeper for his coaches. He boasted a great sense of position, especially in exiting his own goal to block opponent's crosses and assists. In the course of his career he gave up his starting position in just nine occasions out of a total of 398, due to his excellent physical condition, despite having suffered criticism on the strictly athletic side; he also became a specialist in blocking penalty kicks, sensing the direction of the ball after staring at the shooter. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time.
