Amedeo Biavati

Biavati played in Serie A with Bologna, making his debut on 21 May 1933 in a 7–0 win over Casale. He also played with Catania in Serie B. With Bologna he enjoyed a successful period, winning in particular three Serie A titles during the 1936–1937, 1938–1939, and 1940–1941 seasons, as well as the Torneo Internazionale dell'Expo Universale di Parigi in 1937, and the Coppa Alta Italia in 1946.

Biavati made 18 appearances and scored eight goals for the Italy national football team between 1938 and 1947, and he helped the team to win the 1938 FIFA World Cup in France, as well as the third edition of the Central European International Cup. He made his international debut on 12 June 1938, during the quarter-finals of the 1938 World Cup, as Italy defeated the host nation 3–1. Biavati is often remembered for the notable goal he scored against England in Milan, on 13 May 1939, placing the ball into an empty net after dribbling past the English defenders and the goalkeeper.

After retiring, Biavati attempted to pursue a career as a football manager, albeit unsuccessfully.
