Nils Liedholm's men felt the pressure though when they went 2-0 down but an Aldo Maldera goal settled their nerves and they went through to the next round despite a 3-1 defeat. Nappi played the full match here and was a regular in this his first season at the Olimpico after signing from Perugia. It would go on to be a glorious year for Roma as they won their first Scudetto since 1942 with Falcao, Pruzzo and Conti inspirational. The club wore Patrick shirts for just this one triumphant campaign before switching to Kappa and the shirt worn at Portman Road is the rarest and most collectable of all from this special season.
