Translating roughly as the 'Top Youngster Trophy', it was awarded by the Italian
publication Guerin Sportivo to under 23's until 1992, since then it has been limited
to under 21's. Whilst 1978 winner Jimmy Case may have once been under 23 years of age,
he certainly never looked it. Ditto John Wark. It's awarded to anyone who plays in any of
the European leagues.
