He started his career at Vicenza in 1982, he played 3 seasons there and in the third he helped them win Serie C1.
Baggio was quickly snapped up Fiorentina in Serie A where he spent 5 seasons.
In 1990 he then went to Juventus where he also spent 5 seasons and won his first Serie A title in the final season.
Immediately the next season he lefot for AC Milan where he won his second Serie A title.
Baggio then had spells at Inter Milan and spent his remaining years at Brescia before retiring in 2004.
Overall Baggio scored a massive 292 goals at club level.
He is the only Italian player to score in 3 different World Cups and he made 56 appearances for his country scoring 26 times.
Baggio is best known to some people for all the wrong reasons, in the 1994 World Cup Final against Brazil, he took Italy's last penalty which he needed to score to keep Italy in it, however he hit the ball way over the crossbar and that would have been his lowest point in his career.
I will always remember Baggio for his high points though such as his European and World player of the year awards in 1993.
Here is a video with some of Roberto Baggio's best moments, I hope you enjoy it.
