INFO:
Galparoli was a side-back who could play also in the center. He's remembered for his time at Udinese, where he played 307 matches, scoring 8 goals, from 1981 to 1990. Between the 1982-83 and the 1985-86 season he didn't miss a single league game. He had spells also at Reggiana, Brescia, Alessandria and Cuneo, retiring in 1995.
Galparoli was a very fast side-back, considered by coach Nils Liedholm so quick that it was almost impossible to break through the defence from his flank. Also a very good header, he used to go up during free kicks and corners. In terms of pure defensive ability, that was probably one of his weakest points. During Galparoli's time at Udinese, the team was very offensive and the defence was their weak link, not because of the qualities of the players but because of how the defence was positionally structured. Therefore, the defender could rely on his speed to cover the spaces but he and Cattaneo were the only two players who actually had to stop the opponents and they clearly were not enough. Galparoli said in an interview that the forward he suffered more was Pietro Fanna because he was too quick even for him and so redundant that he didn't give reference points.
