View attachment 323400Bruno Pirozzi -
The Italian born in London. The Italian with an English father. The wonderkid turned legend. He quotes what he did the biggest mistake of his life. He didn't register for England in time. He always wanted to wear the Three Lions and was gutted when he discovered his fatal mistake. Pirozzi was picked for Italy and appeared 43 times scoring 20 goals captaining Italy to the 2006 World Cup. Pirozzi was born on July 8th 1971. When he was 18 he signed a contract to play for Arsenal Football Club. He stayed there until he was 25. He was released and he joined Inter Milan. He scored 75 goals in 97 apperances before jetting off to Germany to play for Borussia Dortmund. Scoring 29 goals in 40 apperances he was released on a free transfer before spending three years at Marseille. The legend then spent the last year of his career at Arsenal scoring 7 goals in 15 apperances before having his retirement tournament. A four team tournament between Borussia, Arsenal, Inter and Marseille. Pirozzi played a half for every team. Lifting the cup at the Emirates Stadium with Arsenal at the age of 37 ended a glimmering career. Pirozzi earned his badges coaching at Arsenal and left the club in January 2012 in search of a manager's job. The search, seven months on, continues.
