Mario Corso dead: Inter Milan legend nicknamed God's Left Foot dies aged 78

Inter Milan legend Mario Corso has died aged 78.

Corso, who was nicknamed God's Left Foot, played more than 400 times for the Serie A giants from 1957 to 1973, winning four titles.

The left-winger also represented Italy at international level.

Inter Milan paid tribute to their former player on Twitter : "Mario Corso has passed away, a man who was Inter through and through and an eternal champion, gifted with infinite class.

"He enchanted the world with his left foot in a team that marked an era. The thoughts and love of every one of us go to his family at this difficult time."

FIFA also paid tribute in a tweet reading: "Mario Corso took knuckleball free-kicks long before they were en vogue.

"He had "God's left foot". He was a huge figure in La Grande Inter. One of Inter and Italy's best-ever wingers passed away today, aged 78. Thanks for the memories and RIP 'Mariolino'."
