Poise, elegance, nobility and a regal air dominated his rule
Recollections of the sixties Inter team brings about a beaming smile
A rare and prolific defender who never lost his cool
Just an amazing epitome of grace and style

Make no mistake this is Giacinto Fachetti
Atalanta bound, reigned in by Herrara for Inter’s full back slot
Monopolised enterprising cutting runs like a sharpened machete
Defended the rearguard with the fervour of a zealot

Seria A, Euro and Intercontinental trophies by the bagful
His death leaves a lamentable vacuum
Inter afficionados will feel the pangs when the heart strings pull
Stadio Meazza memories of the Emperor will become a footballing heirloom

Cabrini, Baresi, Maldini all clones of the boy from Treviglio
The legacy lives on within the art of Catenaccio
