"My name is Gianluigi Buffon, I played football until I was 45, 28 of which were professional football, and during that time I probably fell billions of times. You learn that when you start kicking a ball, otherwise you simply can't be a goalkeeper. And I fell, like anyone else."

Accusations of betting, a bought diploma, a fascist scandal, Calciopoli, goalkeeping blunders, and tearful defeats, not to mention a panic attack and depression. Had he stumbled and failed to rise from any of these falls, football would have lost Gigi Buffon, a man who oversaw a galaxy of famous coaches, charismatic players, and personified an entire era of calcio. His career exemplifies why one should always remain honest about football.

From Gianluigi Buffon's candid account, you'll learn the role Marc Chagall and Vladimir Lenin played in his career, and you'll also get a dose of genuine old-school football, when players smelled of camphor oil and were far less muscular and tattooed, and goalkeepers used tires as pads.
