Vincenzo Montella hangs up his boots
Today it was reported that at 35 years of age, Roma striker Vincenzo Montella has decided to retire. Montella was one of the best strikers Italy has ever produced and one of Italy's deadliest strikers in the late 90's and early 2000's. Short in stature and nicknamed "L'Aeroplanino" (Little Airplane) for his trademark goal celebration (pictured), Montella had a lethal left foot and seemed to find the net from any angle, scoring some beautiful goals.
