Pic: Lazio Will Wear A Special, One-Off Jersey To Bid Farewell To Miroslav Klose

It's hard to believe that it's a decade since Polish-born Germany striker Miroslav Klose became the World Cup's all-time record goalscorer.

Klose joined Lazio in 2011 for what many believed would be a swan-song in the slower-paced Serie A, and yet five years later the 37-year-old has notched 62 goals in all competitions and cemented his status as a Biancazzurri legend. He is also one of eight players in Serie A history to have scored five goals in one match.

He recently announced his decision to depart the Roman club - though it remains unclear if he'll play elsewhere next season or hang up his boots.

Nonetheless, Lazio have decided to honour the man they call 'Miro' with a special jersey for their home fixture with Fiorentina, and are promoting their final game as 'Klose Day'.

It's a nice touch, but surely at least one Lazio player will score and wonkily land a front-flip in tribute to the great man.
