The great playmaker turns 35 today…

Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo is one of the most stylish men and stylish footballers on the planet and he’s ageing better than a fine wine; this guy has it all.

Pirlo is a massive favourite here in JOE towers and celebrate his birthday, we’ve compiled some of his best passes, free-kicks, penalties and ridiculous strikes over the past 19 years.

The vision of this man is on another planet…

He’s capable of creating a goal from any part of the pitch…

The opposition defender can never rest with Pirlo on the other team, such range…

He can’t half score a belter can he?

If JOE tried this we’d trip up before even making contact with the ball, Pirlo did it on the biggest stage of all. Such confidence, poor Joe Hart.

Just when you think his best years are behind him, he goes and does this against Cagliari last weekend…

What an absolute legend, JOE has no more words for the man but as they say ‘a picture paints a thousand words’ and here’s one of the greatest pictures of all time…
