The Vieri brothers

Christian Vieri is an Inter icon. He started his senior career for Torino before switching many clubs and moving to Juventus and then Atletico Madrid where he scored 24 in 24 games. He finally moved to Inter in 1999 and made 143 appearances for them scoring 103 goals.

Vieri moved to Milan in 2005 and then Fiorentina and Atlanta before hanging his boots up in 2009. He scored 23 goals in 43 matches for Italy between 1997 and 2005.

His brother -- Massimilano Vieri -- began his career at Juventus and spent a brief period at Napoli. He spent a vast majority of his career playing in the Serie B. He was called up by Australia in 2004 and played 6 times for the Socceroos.

The brothers spent a long part of their early life in Australia and Christian Vieri is said to be a huge fan of cricket legend Allan Border. The older Vieri made his mark in Italy and was instantly on the radar of the youth teams.He was also courted by Socceroos coach Eddie Thompson in 1990s but was rejected.

Massimilano Vieri had a meandering career but decided to accept an Australian call-up when there seemed to be no prospect of him making the Italy squad in order to try and play at the highest level of football.
