Gigi tops off 20 years of Totti
Dear Francesco, you have made Italian football history…We’re friends, you know how much I care about you. We started together with the Under-15 side, we had some splendid years together in the national team and we continue to meet as opponents in Serie A…You’ve written the history of Italian football, with the present and the future – you are a player who can not be doubted. And, for me, you’ll always be an Azzurro.
An embrace from your friend, Gigi.
Fan-fiction writers, your day has come with Football Italia’s account of a message sent from Gigi Buffon to Francesco Totti. Commemorating the 20th anniversary of Il Gladiatore’s debut in Serie A, we’re not 100% sure the account is completely factual, but in a world of constant transfer rumors, fashion mistakes and Sepp Blatter, we’re going to go ahead and believe it, and don’t try to convince us otherwise.
Did anyone else just get a little misty-eyed?
Some photos from Mariano Vivanco’s Italia Campioni del Mondo 2006.
I would definitely like to own a copy of this book, and his AC Milan one as well. Love his body of work.
