Gianfranco Bedin (born 24 July 1945) is a former Italian footballer who played for Internazionale as a defensive midfielder; a ball-winner, he was known for his anticipation, stamina, work-rate, man-marking, and his ability to read the game, defensively supporting his more creative and offensive team-mates.[1][2] He was part of their European Cup victory in 1965. He also earned 6 caps for the Italy national football team between 1966–1972.[2][3][4][5]

Club career

Born in San Donà di Piave, Bedin is mostly remembered for the club football he played whilst at Internazionale from 1964 to 1974, as a member of Helenio Herrera's highly successful "Grande Inter" squad. He appeared in 211 Serie A matches with the Milanese club, winning three Serie A titles, the European Cup, and two Intercontinental Cups, also reaching the Coppa Italia final, as well as another European Cup final.[6] He would later also play for U.C. Sampdoria (1974–78), A.S. Varese 1910 (1978–79), A.S. Livorno Calcio (1979–80), and San Frediano Rondinella S.S. (1980–81), before retiring in 1981.[1][2][7][8]

International career

Bedin also represented Italy national football team at international level, making 6 appearances for the national side between 1966 and 1972, although, despite his success at club level with Inter, he never represented Italy at a major international tournament.[5]
