Football's living legend, Italian goalie, Gianluigi Buffon (Italy and Juventus) wrote a letter to his goal. He penned this to mark his record breaking achievement of the longest time without conceding a goal - a staggering 974 minutes!

He also composed heartfelt dedications to each of his teammates.

[b]"I was 12 when I turned my back on you, denying
my past to guarantee you a safe future.
I went with my heart
I went with my instinct
But the day I stopped looking you in the face is
also the day that I started to love you
To protect you
To be your first and last line of defence
I promised myself that I would do everything not
to see your face again. Or that I would do it as
little as possible. It was painful every time I did,
turning round and realising I had disappointed you.
Again
And again.
We have always been opposites yet we are
complementary, like the sun and the moon. Forced
to live side by side without being able to touch.
Team-mates for life, a life in which we are denied
all contact
More than 25 years ago I made my vow: I swore
to protect you. Look after you. A shield against all
your enemies. I’ve always thought about your
welfare, putting it first even ahead of my own.
I was 12 when I turned my back on my goal. And I
will keep doing it as long as my legs, my head and
my heart will allow.”[/b]

His composition was posted on Twitter earlier.
