Happy Birthday to "Bobo" Vieri!

Christian "Bobo" Vieri born 12 July 1973, is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a centre forward.

Having been born in Italy, Vieri moved with his family to Australia as a child, before returning to Italy to pursue his professional career at a young age. He then spent the bulk of his career playing in the Serie A. In March 2004, he was named in the FIFA 100, a list of the 125 greatest living footballers selected by Pelé as a part of FIFA's centenary celebrations.

Power, goal-scoring sense, and determination were his main characteristics. 

He used to play for Inter Milan from season 1999/2000 until season 2004/2005. In Nerazzurri colours, he won the 2004/05 Coppa Italia, clinched the 2002/03 Serie A top scorer title with 24 goals, and remains the club's tenth-highest goal scorer in history. In 2023 he is the 20th player to enter the club's "Hall of Fame" a Nerazzurri institution, which every year is enriched by legends who have written important chapters in the club's history.

He, also, scored 23 goals in 49 matches for Italy between 1997 and 2005. He played for his country at the 1998 World Cup, scoring five times, and the 2002 World Cup, scoring four times.

He is one of Italy's most prolific World Cup goal scorers.

Once again, Happy Birthday Vieri, Legend of Inter!
