Roberto Anzolin (born 18 April 1938) is a former Italian footballer, who played as a goalkeeper. Regarded as one of the best Italian goalkeepers of his generation, he played for several Italian sides, but is mostly remembered for his successful time with Juventus at club level. At international level, he represented the Italy national football team and was a member of Italy's squad at the 1966 FIFA World Cup.
Anzolin made his professional debut with Marzotto Valdagno (1956–59) before moving to Palermo for two seasons. The club had purchased him for 40 million Lire, beating out Milan by 5 million Lire, and offering him an annual salary of 5 million Lire. Before playing his final match of the 1960–61 Serie B season, he was informed about his transfer to Serie A winners Juventus, who signed him on a 14 million Lire contract. Palermo obtained Tarcisio Burgnich in exchange for their keeper, as well as Rune Börjesson on loan, and 100 million Lire.
Anzolin is most noted for having played most of the 1960s with Italian Serie A giants Juventus, making 305 appearances (230 of which were in the league) with the club between 1961 and 1970. During his time at the club, he won a Serie A championship during the 1966–67 season, as well as a Coppa Italia during the 1964–65 season. He also won a minor international trophy with the club, the Coppa delle Alpi, in 1963. With Juventus, he also reached the semi-finals of the 1967–68 European Cup, losing to Benfica.
