So this happened tonight, sorry to be a little boastful. 
It really was such an awesome experience, the man is as truly genuine and humble in person (as others here too have experienced) as he his so often described. His English is getting much better, he shared some interesting and intriguing thoughts, one bloke near us even asked him which was the better 21? Pirlo or Zidane? Overall great night, and a fantastic way for the WA Italian club to celebrate 80 years!

The question was asked in Italian and he responded in Italian.
Pirlo - "Grande centrocampo di'talia; Andrea sono molto technico, e elegente e il consumata professionale"
Zidande - "Piu grande... Grande... Grande calciotore del mondo.... E Francese... Sono magico, intelligente, immenso sul campo.. Il campione vero... Il ultimo.."
He went on and on about Zidane, whilst he spoke highly of Pirlo, as a team-mate both in the Nazionale and at Juventus... You could tell, without him answering the question directly, he holds Zidane in very high esteem, as if he was out of this world.. Coming from ADP, that in itself speaks volumes!
My grasp of Italian is a bit limited, though I understand more than I speak, that was, for the most part the words he used to describe them; I'm sure you get the gist.
