Juventus Supporters Will Never Stop Loving Alessandro Del Piero

When looking back at the long and successful history of Juventus, it ought to be extremely difficult to identify the club’s greatest player. Names like Gianpiero Combi, Giuseppe Furino, Gaetano Scirea and Michel Platini stand out as iconic captains who led the Bianconeri to some truly memorable achievements.

Yet to almost every supporter of Italian football’s grand Old Lady, one man stands head and shoulders above the rest: Alessandro Del Piero. He made his debut as a fresh-faced 19-year-old back in 1993, a game away at Foggia marking the first of what would eventually become a staggering 705 appearances for the club.
