Paolo Maldini

Football, AC Milan and Italy. Maldini made his Milan debut at 16 in 1985 and played his last match at 41 in 2009, all for one club. He made his name as an attacking left-back, then moved into the centre of defence as his pace declined, relying on positioning instead of recovery speed, and won the last of his five European Cups, in 2007, at 38.
