Javier Zanetti: 100-word hero #22
A new boy to the blog, Richard Graham (@RPG_1988 on Twitter), picks out a hero of both Argentina and Inter. If you like it, check out his blog Lazy Man’s Calcio…
On 20 September 2011 Zanetti played his record-breaking 757th game for the Nerazzurri; all played with incredible dignity and perfect hair.
Having looked exactly the same since his arrival in 1995, he constantly plays more minutes than anyone despite being 38. Precise in the tackle, Zanetti also glides past opponents with ease.
Heavily involved with charity, Pupi reaped the rewards of his hard work with countless trophies; the 2010 Tripletta being the icing on the cake.
The most capped Argentine player ever is a true Bandiera and Goliath of calcio, willing to play anywhere for the good of the team.
