7) Antonio Di Natale – Udinese
What can be said of player, who scored goals for fun, and remained loyal to a club for 12 years despite being offered big money moves on several occasions. But Di Natale was more than that for Udinese. He was a symbol of the club in itself.
He made over 350 appearances for the club in Serie A scoring 191 goals in total. He was a player who aged like wine. His scoring prowess never seemed to dither even as he grew older.
At the age of 37, he became Serie A’s 6th highest all-time goalscorer. Not many in the world can even imagine achieving that kind of feat at such an advanced age. But Di Natale never let age stop him from hitting the back of the net on a consistent basis.
He might not have the big trophies in his career, but he won something more valuable than any piece of silverware, a place in the history books as one of the greats of Italian football as well the hearts of many fans. In 2016, he decided to leave the club that was his home for over a decade but has not yet taken a call on his retirement as of yet.
