Career

When he first started his career as a footballer, many doubting Thomases felt that his slight physique would be a big handicap. But Inzaghi has silenced the critics with his goals, was top goalscorer while playing for Atalanta in the 1996/97 championship and contributed 25 goals to Juventus' tally last season. Last year Pippo only scored 19 but that may have had a lot to do with the absence of Del Piero as the pair have a great understanding up front.

Interests

He loves fishing and picking mushrooms. He reads sport magazines and thrillers. He spent part of his summer holidays in Sardinia. His favourite top model is Megan Gale. His favourite cartoon character is Mickey Mouse.

Ancelotti's view: "His greatest asset is his ability to score goals, but this year he has proved he can also create chances for his team mates."
