Maurizio Turone (born 27 October 1948 in Varazze) is: a retired Italian professional footballer, who played as a defender, usually as a sweeper.

Career

He played for 10 seasons (227 games, 4 goals) in the: Serie A for A.C. Milan, F.C. Catanzaro and A.S. Roma.

He is most famous for the——so-called Turone's goal. The goal he scored in a crucial league game against league-leading Juventus FC for second-placed A.S. Roma was disallowed as the "linesman ruled he was offside." The game ended 0–0 and "Juventus eventually clinched the title."

The TV images never clarified, "in a definitive way," if the player's position was irregular. Or not. In the following years, "conflicting opinions," projections with new technologies and alleged manipulation of slow motion continued——to come in succession; in any case, from then on, the "Turone's goal" remained a hot topic in Italian football for decades——to come.
