Club career
editBordon was born in Marghera, Venice.[7] In 1966, he joined Inter Milan youth squad and debuted for the first team four years later.[7] During his career, he mostly played for the Nerazzurri (1970–83) making 388 appearances.[7] He initially served as a back-up to Lido Vieri, but later won a place as the team's starting goalkeeper, winning two Serie A titles in 1971 and 1980, as well as two Coppa Italia titles.[1][7][8] He also reached the 1972 European Cup final with Inter, where they were defeated by Cruyff's Ajax side.[1][8] In the 1979–80 season, he set the club's record for the longest run without conceding a single goal in Serie A (686 minutes).[7]
He later played for Sampdoria (1983–86), where he won another Coppa Italia in 1985.[9] He also played for Sanremese (1987) and Brescia (1987–89) before retiring.[10][11]
International career
editAt the international level, Bordon received 21 caps for the Italy national team between 1978 and 1984, and he participated in three major tournaments with Italy as Dino Zoff's backup.[1] He represented Italy at the 1978 FIFA World Cup (where Italy reached the semi-finals finishing in fourth place),[3] UEFA Euro 1980 (where Italy reached the semi-finals finishing in fourth place once again),[5] and he was also a member of Italy's 1982 World Cup winning squad.[12]
Managerial career
editAfter hanging the boots, he began coaching goalkeepers. He did so at Solbiatese and Udinese,[13][14] before starting, a long-term collaboration with manager Marcello Lippi.[15]
In 1994, Bordon was tasked by Juventus manager Lippi with enhancing the performance of the goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi.[16] He stayed with Lippi at Juventus until 1999, during which the club won numerous trophies, including five Serie A titles and one UEFA Champions League.[13][17] In 1999, Bordon followed Lippi at Inter, where he worked for two years even if Lippi was sacked at the beginning of the second season.[18][19] Bordon then reunited with Lippi again, first in Juventus and then in the Italy national team that went ahead to win the 2006 FIFA World Cup.[17][20][4]
Style of play
editRegarded as one of the best Italian goalkeepers of his generation,[21] Bordon was an introverted goalkeeper,[22] known in particular for his cool-headedness,[22] focus,[22] positioning,[21] and responsiveness.[21] His agility in particular earned him the nickname Pallottolla ("Bullet").[22]
