This Gianluigi Buffon Message Will Make You Feel Old

Francesco Totti made his debut in the Serie A on the 28th march 1993. I'm not a current affairs guru but somebody like Haughey was the Taoiseach at the time which makes that a really long time ago. To mark 20 years in the league his friend Gianluigi Buffon released a heartfelt message.

"Dear Francesco, you have made Italian football history. Twenty years in Serie A, what an achievement… I still have the image of your first goal in my mind, it was a Roma-Foggia tie.

We’re friends, you know how much I care about you. We started together with the Under-15 side, we had some splendid years together in the national team and we continue to meet as opponents in Serie A.

You often score against me (10 times to be precise, that’s how many goals you have netted) like a champion who has forgotten our friendship…

Then, at the final whistle, there are smiles between us again, like when I saved a penalty that I feared you would chip – it saddened me that was you."

A nice gesture between two of the classiest players ever to play the game.
