Piero, Alessandro Del

Alessandro Del Piero joined Juventus Football Club in 1993, and has since obtained all the accolades of the beautiful game. Spending nineteen seasons of his career at Juve, he is the record holder for appearances (705) and goals (289), and is known worldwide for his creative, attractive brand of football and stunning free kicks. He has won eighteen trophies with Juventus and was a member of Italy's World Cup winning team in 2006. His move to Sydney FC in 2012 was seen Australia-wide as the A-League's acquisition of its first truly world-class player.
