Both are club legends as far as I'm concerned, without them we wouldn't be the club we are today.

Alex, Juve 500 times over

A great party for an immense champion. Before this afternoon’s clash with Bari at the Olimpico, Alessandro Del Piero will be honoured for the latest milestone in his career, 500 appearances in the black and white of Juventus. The club and FIAT will together present the captain with a personalised number plate and a scale model of the new Cinquecento. The presentation is just a prelude to what the captain will receive when it is officially released in mid-September: the keys to the tenth model of the new edition Cinquecento to come off the FIAT production line.

September also marks the fourteenth anniversary of a certain Foggia-Juventus (12th September 1993), a game with a special place in the history books. Not for the score-line, a straight forward 1-1 draw on the 4th day of the championship, but for the debut of a rather promising youngster, a 74th minute substitute for the afternoon’s goal scorer Fabrizio Ravanelli. It was Alessandro Del Piero’s first minute in a Juventus shirt, and the game signalled the beginning of a truly remarkable career.
Since then Alex has become the greatest of all time, smashing every possible record. He’s already the club’s record goal scorer and he now becomes only the third player in history to make 500 appearances for Juventus, edging ever closer to the records of the legendary Gaetano Scirea (552) and Beppe Furino (528.).

Below are the milestones of Alex’s remarkable journey:

1st
12/09/93 Campionato Foggia-Juventus 1-1
Ravanelli

100th
03/04/96 Champions League Juventus-Nantes 2-0
Vialli, Jugovic

200th

29/11/01 Champions League Juventus-Bayern Leverkusen 4-0
2 Trezeguet, Del Piero, Tudor

400th
15/09/04 Champions League Juventus-Ajax 1-0
Nedved

Furino: “A deserved milestone”

“Del Piero is a boy who has integrated himself perfectly with the Juventus mentality, a mentality built on style and decorum. He really does deserve to reach this milestone”. These were the words of Beppe Furino, Bianconeri legend of the 70s and 80s and second in the Juventus all time appearance table on 528. “He won’t catch me this year, but with all my heart, I hope he manages to overtake me next season”.

Riccardo Scirea: “Alex is a special guy”

“Catching up with my father will be tough, but I think Alex can do it”. Gaetano Scirea is still a long way off on 552 appearances but his son Riccardo hopes and believes that Del Piero will one day reach that milestone as well: “I wish his all the best, he’s a special guy. Now though it’s about celebrating number 500 with a great party at the Olimpico”.

A great day for Del Piero, he makes his 500th appearance for the club and scores his 205th goal.

Well done Alex.

Nice gesture.
