capriccioso 2,545 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 One of my favourite strikers, and imo by far the best poacher of his generation, has retired . 288 goals in 623 appearances, a true football legend. Here is the great man pulling his various "THAT WAS NEVER OFFSIDE" faces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 But everyone loves Super Pippo. "That lad must have been born offside"I never said I didn't like him. In fact I complimented him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Let's not forget he sunk the Scousers in Athens. The cheek of him celebrating the first goal like it was all his own work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,956 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The cheek of him celebrating the first goal like it was all his own work Typical of him, isn't it? Some player makes a run of his life, dancing around 7 opposite players, and sends a perfect pass to Inzaghi who has the empty net. Then, Inzaghi celebrates like 'Oh my god did you see it?!'

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 He was the definition of a traditional poacher striker. In his generation, I personally prefer Raul, but Pippo is still a legend, no doubt. He must have been the most frustrating teammate in football history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Offside just had no chance when Pippo was playing at his best.One of the most iconic strikers in football. I'm sad to see him retire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Jesus, being linked with Watford forced him to retire. One of the best 6 yard box poachers i've seen, was such a clinical finisher. Didn't really like him much tho, was a whinging cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
