“Death to cowards”: Gianlujigi Buffoni's Dark History

He is 41 and has spent 24 years defending the gates of Parma, Juventus, Italian National and Paris Saint Germain, writes Periscope.

It was at Parma that he had earned the reputation of a fascist after deciding to get the number "88. " This number is a symbol of the neonists who make the famous welcome “Heil Hitler” since the letter H is eighth in the alphabet.

Buffon was then acquitted that he had not known the secret meaning of the number, even though he was later seen screaming “Boia chi kioma”, an expression of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini saying “Death to the cowards”.

However, Buffon had then moved to Juventus and had become one of the best gatekeepers in the world.

Meanwhile, his return to Juventus has been specifically linked to numbers again. He only needs 10 appearances in Serie A to pass Paolo Maldin of AC Milan for the most appearance. And even though 41-year-olds seem to have lost focus on numbers.

And as a reminder of the 88, which he had then removed from his back, he has this time chosen number 77.

Last night, the legendary goalkeeper made some excellent receptions in the friendly duel with Inter. /Periscope
