This legendary soccer player played 25 years for one team, won the Champions League 5 times among many other titles, and his image is on my desktop.
Edison Arantes do Nascimento (Pele')?
No. Pele never played for European team.
Paolo Maldini?
Yes, the one and only. They don't make players like him anymore. TP.
Back atcha ... amazing control, dribbling, defense ... consummate "complete" player.
Best left defender ever IMO.
His leadership - captain both at Milan and national team. Loyalty and symbol - played his entire career for Milan.
Very smart player - was able to become a great center defender after loosing some of his speed later in his career.
Conduct - he's model professional. Was never involved in scandals and always treats fans with respect.
His father was also the captain of Milan and his two sons are also following the family line.
