Pippo is one of the most under-rated players in Football history; its good he will soon be getting more recognition.

THere is nothing wrong in being a poacher or a ‘goal hanger’ and Inzaghi is one of the very best – it shouldn’t be seen as a criticism.

He is an absolute genius at finding that half yard of space at just the right moment, of arriving at the back post just when he needs to and at finding the net from acute angles.

Of course a player like that needs team-mates who can deliver the right pass at the right time – playing for Juve and Milan he has always had that support. I wonder if he would be the same style of player had he been stuck with lesser providers?

In any case he is clearly one of the greatest finishers the game has seen.

He also dived an awful lot in his younger Juve days and has never lost the reputation despite becoming a more honest player with Milan.

Plenty of goals he has scored yes, but I’ve never seen a top level player spend so much of his career offside. I think Alan Green once said he must have been born offside!
