He's a champion, he's an athlete, he's an Italian, he's a man who looks damn good in pictures.
We're putting the spotlight on one of our longest-standing and most beloved harem members today. Filippo Inzaghi we salute you. Last night, he passed Gerd Muller's scoring tally in the Champion's League and he's also now AC Milan's all-time top scorer in the Champs League. That's why we're saluting him today. We're paying tribute to him because he's a true legend of the game. The most brilliant thing about his record breaking haul last night is that one of them was apparently offside! That sums up one of the reasons we love Pippo, He is thirty seven years old and has a twenty year career and he still flagrantly, blatantly and carelessly breaks the offside rule. And every time he does he's shocked that they pull him up for it. His reactions to this are priceless, he looks as if he takes every wave of the flag as a personal insult. Which brings me to another reason we love him, I have never such an eloquent, glorious expression of disgust as the one Pippo sports throughout football matches, truly its poetry in motion. I also love him because of the longevity of his career, I remember him as a fresh-faced youth at Juve, I remember how he got that scar on his lip (that's dedication) and i've grown up watching him play football. Football wouldn't be the same without him, he's a one-off, an original and we LOVE him. They don't call him SuperPippo for nothing.
