		OMAR Sivori, the Juventus legend hailed in recent years as "the Maradona of the Sixties", was mourned throughout Serie A yesterday after his death in Argentina, aged 69.
		Sivori, the European Footballer of the Year in 1961, was famed for his sublime dribbling with socks at his ankles, often interspersed with keepie-uppie or a "nutmeg," as well as a volatile temperament.
		But Sivori was the perfect foil for his striking partner John Charles when they teamed up in 1957 as Juventus tried to regain their old glory after a dry spell, finishing an unheard of ninth the previous season.

		Sivori, in some ways a footballing prototype of Diego Maradona, came to international promimence in the 1957 South American Championship in Peru.
		Argentina strolled to the title and Sivori and the rest of the forward line were dubbed 'the angels with dirty faces' - the nickname paying tribute both to their youth and to their devilish ability on the ball.
		Sivori was poised to lead them to further triumphs but his sale cut the heart out of the team and River had to wait an extraordinary 18 years before winning their next title in 1975.

		Omar Enrique Sivori, who succumbed to a pancreatic tumour on 17 February 2005, was the only Argentine player whose impact rivalled that of Diego Maradona - even in Naples.
		Sivori, "the king of the oriundi," had it all: talent, a sense of theatre, and attitude.
		The two men subsequently maintained a special relationship, and although Sivori never reached the stage of feeling able to address the Avvocato with familiar "tu" form, his closeness with the Agnelli family was only subsequently enjoyed by France's Michel Platini.

		Omar Sivori was a member of the ‘trio de la Muerte’ (trio of death), otherwise known as ‘the angels with dirty faces’.
		Sivori made a striking contrast with big centre-back turned striker Charles, but their combination was absolute chemistry.
		Omar was somewhat a dwarf compared to the ‘gentle giant’; he was a dribbler par excellence, his left foot deadly; John Charles was technically supreme in the air but did not have the polished artistry of Sivori.

		Omar Sivori was third on the list, after Dino Zoff.
		For example, a typical forward line for River in 1955 included Vernazza, Sivori, Walter Gomez, Labruna, and Loustau (from "La historia del futbol argentino"; Labruna and Loustau were veterans from "La Maquina" of the forties, which also included two of the best Argentinian players ever, Pedernera and Moreno, and in the late forties Di Stefano).
		although Sivori's case is less dramatic than Schiaffino's or Di Stefano's, in the sense that he was pretty young when he went to Italy (I think he wasn't a regular starter in River until 1955).

		2/18/2005 4:30:00 PM One of the most brilliant players of his generation, Omar Sivori was a controversial talented genius whose impressive technical skills were only matched by his bad attitude on and off the pitch.
		Sivori was a very hot-headed and nervous player and in his 12 year Italian career managed to get suspended for 33 matchdays, quite an amount for a forward.
		Omar Sivori will always be remembered for his bad attitude off and on the pitch, but most of all, he will be remembered for his great talent and sheer technique, probably placing him in the top 50 best player list of all time.
