Del Piero Celebrates 33rd Birthday Juventus’ top goalscorer of all time,
Alessandro Del Piero celebrates his 33rd birthday today.
Del Piero Celebrates 33rd Birthday
The Golden Boy, who signed for the Bianconeri in 1993, has since gone on to make more than 500 appearances and is seen as a symbol of the club.
The official Juventus website offered their congratulations to Del Piero with the following message:
Everybody at Juventus is ready to live a special day. On Friday November 9, Alessandro Del Piero celebrates his 33rd birthday.
This birthday comes at an extremely positive moment for the Captain. In his private life, as he recently celebrated the birth of his first son, Tobias, but also in his career. Del Piero recently renewed his Juventus contract, confirming his Club icon status. Moreover, he also just wrote another page in Juventus' history: last Sunday, against Inter Milan, he played his 529th game for the Club, thus overtaking Beppe Furino in the all-time chart of players with more games at Juventus, and only Gaetano Scirea is still in front of him.
Best wishes to Alessandro from us at juventus.com, everyone at Juventus and all the fans.
