The legendary goalkeeper from Italy will celebrate his 40th birthday on January 28th, and is still playing at the highest level for the Italian Champions Juventus. Starting his career at Parma, Buffon moved to Juventus when he was 23.
Trending
The Italian international has, so far, made 638 appearances for Juventus. He helped Juventus to 10 Serie A titles and 3 runners-up medals in the UEFA Champions League, and is an outstanding shot-stopper with brilliant reflexes. Consistency and concentration puts him a notch above other world-class goalkeepers.
He has been wearing the no.1 jersey ever since his Juventus debut. Ronaldinho once said - "There have been some very good goalkeepers in my era, but Buffon is there for consistency. Most of the goalkeepers have had times when their form has not been so good, but Buffon has been at such a high level for so long."
