Pippo Inzaghi: 300 times the Best

This article is long over due; nevertheless, it is here!

It started in Siena, and it surely didn't end in Siena. Eighteen years, seven clubs, a World Cup Winners badge to his name, two Champions League titles and three hundred goals later Filippo Inzaghi is still going strong.

A master goal poacher, who has turned a would-be-insult, in to a compliment. Very few can master the offside trap like him, although more often than not caught for being offside, Pippo can stick to that last man like superglue and break free just as easily.

Despite having the tendency to disappear for a good few months Inzaghi certainly has a way of making his presence felt at the most vital of times. Last minute goals, timely runs, hatrics you name he has got it!

A complete package in goal poaching with a beginners guide included as he inspires all youngsters around him. From Pato to Paloschi to Gilardino Inzaghi has helped even the best with that vital finishing touch.

It is no wonder as to why he is neck and neck with Raul as Europe's top goal scorer, or why he has only 19 goals to go before breaking Roberto Baggio's old Serie A record: the veteran has still got it in those old legs of his.

Thank you Pippo for the fantastic memories you have graced football with. You will be remembered for years to come. Grazie!

Keep Scoring!
