It may have taken Marco Materazzi until he was 28 to join Inter, but it was the only club for him from that point on, spending 10 seasons there and becoming an icon among the fans.
His status will only have grown further with his recent actions.
On holiday in Rio de Janeiro, the former defender climbed the famous statue of Christ, only to find an anti-Inter sticker when he reached the top.
Needless to say, it wasn’t there when he left!
Materazzi made 276 appearances for Inter, scoring 20 goals and winning everything, including five Serie A titles and the 2010 Champions League.
