18th February 2001, Del Piero honours the memory of his father
Ten years ago today, on 18th February 2001, Alessandro scored one of the most significant goals of the 280 he’s struck wearing a Juventus shirt.
A few days after the passing away of his much-loved father Gino, the captain came on in the closing stages of the home game against Bari and decided the match with a moment of magic. After dribbling through, he lifted the ball with his left foot over the oncoming goalkeeper.
