Giuseppe Meazza is remembered as the greatest Italian footballer of all time, due to his contributions to the game. One of the many players to have played during the Second World War, the centre-forward was truly mesmerizing to watch.

He managed to get through players with relative ease while also finding the back of the net comfortably. Meazza always played with a smile on his face and was never deterred by any defender. He was one of the first greats at Inter Milan and spent 13 years at the club before joining rivals AC Milan. However, he ended his career with the Nerazzurri and also found the back of the net before retiring.

Inter Milan's stadium was named the 'Giuseppe Meazza Stadium' after he passed away in 1979.


#2 Sinisa Mihajlovic (37years 1month 19days)

Sinisa Mihajlovic was one of the most versatile players of his generation. The former Serbian international was primarily a centre-back but was an incredible passer of the ball too.

Mihajlovic was a massive aerial presence for every club he played for and was often the man to target in attacking set-pieces. Like Figo, he also arrived at Inter Milan on a free transfer and stayed only for a couple of seasons. But during his time at the club, he was one of the first names on the team-sheet. While his game-time was reduced during his final year at the club, he would find the rare goal.

Mihajlovic retired in 2006 but made his way onto this list due to a goal scored in his last season with the club. He is the current manager of Serie A side Bologna.


#1 Javier Zanetti (37years 4months 5days)

Javier Zanetti is arguably the greatest player in Inter Milan's history. The defender produced incredible consistency during his 19 years at the club and won several trophies.

The Argentinian international is one of the few players to have played in the 90s, 2000s and 2010s. But despite this, he adapted to every method employed by every manager, thanks to his tactical nous and incredible work-rate.

While he was not a prolific goal-scorer, Zanetti would pop up occasionally in the penalty box to score the odd goal. He did manage to do so even towards the end of his career becoming the oldest goal-scorers in the club's history.

The former Inter Milan captain retired in 2014 but is remembered as an icon by the San Siro faithful.
