SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Alessandro Del Piero (born 9 November 1974) is a retired Italian football legend. He is most known for his time at Juventus, where he was and still is one of the most accomplished and respected players in the club’s history. He made his professional debut with Serie B side Padova in 1992 and in 1993 earned a transfer to Juventus, where he played for 19 seasons.

Del Piero was revered for his attacking and creative play. He was most famous for his left sided attacks where he would dribble in from wide, cutting across the edge of the area and curling a finesse shot into the top corner. This was known throughout as the “Del Piero Zone”.

1993

Del Piero began his career at Padova and started to make a name for himself in early 1993. His performances caught the eye of Italian giants Juventus, who secured his signature in the summer. Del Piero didn’t have to wait long for his chance in the first team, making his debut as a substitute in September against Foggia. He came off the bench in the following game to net the first of his 208 league goals to come in the black and white stripes of The Old Lady.

1995

By 1995, Del Piero had established himself as a regular in the Juventus first team and had earned a first international cap in March of that year. There were further reasons for Del Piero to celebrate as he later helped The Old Lady to their first Scudetto in 9 years, as well as capturing the Coppa Italia for a rare double. In November, Del Piero scored his first international goal for the Azzurri in a 4-0 win over Lithuania. His performances in 1995 would earn him a Ballon d’Or nomination.
