The legend that is Maldini |
|
Paolo Maldini has just passed 1000 games for club and country
861 games for AC 126 for Italy national team 12 U-21 Italian team 1 Italian Olympic team Now that is what I call a career and a loyal player to boot |

He's some legend alrite.
|
||||||||
|

|
|
1000 games and 24 seasons played for Milan that's definitely a great achievement
|
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
This season is his last. And then he'll be acting in films, at least he says so. Like Vinnie Jones, I guess.

Really?
1 appearance for the Olympic team?! Not impressed. What's the guy playing at?! You call that a career....pffft.  |

The greatest left back of all time ........ an absolute legend

Milan plan to retire the number 3 at the end of the season . Only to be issued again if his son ever makes it to the first team .
Is this the first time a footballer has had his number retired ? |
||||||||

|
|
no I think napoli did it with the number 10 of maradona |

Man City retired 23 (I think) after Marc Vivien Foe died. Different circumstances though. Wish Celtic had retired the number 7 after Larsson left. Our two best ever players wore it and don't want useless bassa's wearing it
|

|
Also Roma retired Aldair's number 6
|
||||||||
|

|
|
Obviously you all will know better than me, but didn't Milan retire 6 in honour of Baresi??

I've asked the same question on another forum ......... and there are loads of retired numbers , usually when a player has died . |

I believe that Maldini is head and shoulders the best defender I've ever seen .
Usually when asked to name my best ever player , I'd say Pele , with Maradona second and Cruijff third . But is there a case for saying that Maldini should be ranked up there with them . Just because a defender isn't as flashy and spectacular as a forward , doesn't mean he's not doing a better job for his team ; which is surely the yardstick for judging how good a player is ? |

Yeah they retired Baresi's shirt aswell. Juventus should have retired Scireas shirt. |

Simply awesome, irreplacable, I consider it a great honour to have seen this man play against my side in a European Cup Final.
Despite playing in a league that is not known for showing the game in it's best light Maldini has been a beacon for all that is great about the game. Thank you Paolo, if only there were more like you; truly an inspiration. |

He is one of the best defenders ever I think.
I've been always liking Paolo Maldini because of either his defensive talents or his attitudes. Well done big defender. We will never forget you FORZA MALDINI! |
