In summer 1989 Scirea visited Poland as an observer to watch Górnik Zabrze, who
Juventus were to play shortly in the UEFA Cup. On 3 September 1989 a car carrying him
collided head-on with a truck near Babsk. The car carried four canisters of gasoline in the
boot (a common practice in Poland at that time due to frequent gas shortages), which
exploded upon impact, killing Scirea and two of three other passengers. Gaetano played
377 League games for Juventues between 1974 and 1988. Between 1972 and 1974 he played 58
La Liga games for Atalanta. Scirea was born at Cernusco sul Naviglio, in the province of Milan,
but was of Sicilian origin. He managed the impressive feat of winning every UEFA Club and domestic
competition during his time at the club (7 Serie A titles, 2 Italian Cups, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 Cup Winners' Cup,
1 European Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, and 1 Intercontinental Cup.
