# Forward - Alessandro Del Piero

Alessandro Del Piero is Juventus' all-time top-scorer with 290 goals in over 700 appearances in all competitions for the club.

Yet, Del Piero wasn't only a quintessential goal-poacher; he could also conjure goal-scoring opportunities aplenty for teammates. Due to his attributes, the Italy international was often deployed as a 'trequartista', a position between the midfield and strikers.

Didier Deschamps, who managed Del Piero at Juventus, often described the player as a 'nine and a half' as Del Piero was equally adept as a striker as well as in an attacking midfield role. The two-footed player was also renowned for his defensive work-rate, passing accuracy and set-piece prowess.

One of the few players who opted to stay back at Juventus after the Calciopoli scandal, Del Piero won six Scudettos, one Serie B title and the Champions League among other domestic and international honours.


# Forward - Giampiero Boniperti

The oldest player on this list, the 92-year-old Giampiero Boniperti is widely renowned as one of Juventus and Italy's greatest ever players.

Boniperti, who played 15 seasons at Juventus from 1946 to 1961, is the club's all-time second-highest goal-scorer with 179 goals in all competitions. The 5' 9" forward won six Scudettos with the Bianconeri and was renowned for his creativity, scoring ability and technical prowess on the ball.

One of the last living vestiges of the true one-club man, Boniperti spent his entire playing career with Juventus.


# Forward - Roberto Bettega

Roberto Bettega, like Giampiero Boniperti, also scored 179 goals for the Bianconeri during an illustrious 13-year career with Juventus.

The prolific forward, who missed Italy's 1982 FIFA World Cup due to an injury, was renowned for his physical strength, aerial prowess and versatility, which meant that he was equally at ease as a centre-forward as he was a second striker or an attacking midfielder.

One of the few players to have top-scored in both Serie B (1969-70) and Serie A (1979-80), Bettega won seven Scudettos, two Italian Cup titles and a UEFA Cup for Juventus during a golden period for the club.
