In January 2016 Milan fans unfurled a banner dedicated to Mark Hateley before a derby they would go on to win 3-0. Their large-scale tribute to the former England and Rangers striker was a throwback to the autumn clash of 1984, which memorably saw Hateley rise above Fulvio Collovati to head a winning goal beyond Walter Zenga after Agostino Di Bartolomei’s equaliser had teed up a draw.
