Fiore was decent looking. Most of them were really good looking specially the 1998 and 2000-02 squad. Francesco Coco, Vieri and many others. Even Inzaghi's brother was okay looking but Pippo, terrible :D

Whenever you hear the name “Juventus” or see the famous black & white shirt, you immediately visualize one face: Alessandro Del Piero. Mr Juventus. He’s the man who has rewritten club history through number of appearances and goals scored, both in Europe and Serie A. He is the captain, the key player and the symbol of more than a hundred years of history. An idol, not only for the Juventus faithful but for any football fan, it’s no coincidence that in the most celebrated football stadia throughout the world, from the Bernabeu to Old Trafford, Alex leaves the field to a standing ovation. He’s one of the few players whose name is attributed to a style of shooting. When the ball is hit from one side of the penalty area and curls in just under the bar, it’s called a “goal in Del Piero’s style”. Listing his successes, describing his exquisite technique and undisputed leadership would be pointless and perhaps counter productive. To understand his greatness, we can borrow an example from NBA, the American Basketball Championship, which amongst other things; Alex takes a keen interest in. In front of the United Centre, where the Chicago Bulls play, there is a statue dedicated to Michael Jordan. On the statue there is a plaque bearing the inscription “The best there ever was, the best there ever will be.” The same can be applied, undoubtedly, to Alessandro Del Piero.
