SS Lazio and Rome's Stadio Olimpico have a colourful History of Goal Nets.
At the time of the King of the Bidoni and "This is Rome, right, but where's Lazio," it was all about box nets that billowed like tents.
A generation earlier, huge Iron Man stanchions somehow fixed to the pink of the running track framed nets that never strayed off the edge of the field.
A decade earlier, Olimpico was home to skinny A-frames that wouldn't have looked out of place in the Total Goalnets era of the Eredivisie.
You can get a better look at these A-frames in this Roma clip from the mid-sixties.
