Is it bad that I read the headline at first as saying that he died? I just dropped for a bit...

I'm knackered all the time at 40, amazing he's managed to continue this long.

Sad he didn't manage to promote Parma in his last season. Legendary status for more than a decade

Insane career! Playing this long on a high level is truly unique. Didn't always like the rough, defensive playstyle of the Italian national team but he will be remembered for sure

That's a long career to look back on!

What a wonderful career he had! Without a doubt, one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of the game.
