Club career

A determined and physically powerful player, Crippa began his playing career in the Eccellenza Lombardy - the sixth tier of Italian club football - playing for FBC Saronno for two seasons before moving to his hometown club, Seregno. His performances earned him a move to nearby Serie C2 club Pavia in the summer of 1986. After only one season with the club, he moved to Torino in Serie A. In the 1987-88 season he scored three goals for the Turin club in 29 league appearances.

Crippa left Torino in the summer of 1988 to join Napoli. Playing behind Diego Maradona, who was at the peak of his abilities, Crippa joined a strong midfield that also included Alemão, Fernando De Napoli and Francesco Romano. In his first season with the club, Crippa helped Napoli to finish second in Serie A and to win the UEFA Cup, beating VfB Stuttgart in the final. He helped Napoli to fend off the challenge of A.C. Milan to win the Scudetto in the following season. He scored a goal as Napoli defeated Juventus 5-1 in the 1990 Supercoppa Italiana.

Crippa moved to Parma in the summer of 1993 and in his first season he was part of the team that won the UEFA Super Cup over two legs against A.C. Milan. Parma lost the first leg, played at the Stadio Ennio Tardini, 0-1, but won the second leg 2-0 with Crippa scoring the decisive goal in extra time. Crippa won his second UEFA Cup at the end of the 1994-95 season as Parma defeated Juventus 2-1 on aggregate. Parma had finished second behind Juventus in that season's Serie A, and would do so again in the 1995-96 season. Crippa was part of Parma's first ever Champions League campaign in 1997-98.

In 1998, Crippa returned to Torino, who were playing in Serie B; the team were promoted in his first season back at the club. He returned to the Eccellenza Lombardy in 2000 with Canzese, where he finished his career in 2002.

International career

After playing for the under-21 team, Crippa went on to make 17 appearances for Italy. He scored his only international goal in a 3-1 friendly win against Turkey on December 14, 1994. Crippa also represented Italy at two Olympic Games: Seoul 1988, in which he scored the decisive goal in the 2-1 quarter-final victory against Sweden, and Atlanta 1996.
