Maldini to retire

[PhilD123]

Announced a month or two back I think but it's his last game at the San Siro this weekend.

True legend, fantastic left-back, great loyalty to stay at one club and great physical condition to continue playing at the very highest level so late into his career!

This is the worst thing to happen to football since the Arabs landed in Manchester.

Incredible. Is it me or when everyone reads '1985', do they think 'That was 15 years ago'

I always thought Maldini was a CB.

yep that'll change to 25 next year though.

Legendary player.

He was a legend for sure, because he shone both at club and country level. And this season his performances have been particularly good and was in the Team of the Season squad (although he did not quite make the XI).

Maldini = True legend and superb pro.

 

[PhilD123]

I actually don't believe this. 900 appearances, loads of trophies he's brought them and that is how they repay him.

Italian fans are twats. It was only a small section though.

All countries have their fair share of idiots, to be fair.

Yes, although I am a bit confused. "There is only one captain" - How do you know they were referring to Baresi for sure?

 

[PhilD123]

Because they started chanting his name.
