Happy birthday, Nicola Legrottaglie! The defender who could stop goals faster than an Italian grandma stops you from leaving the dinner table without seconds. Your dedication to the beautiful game was legendary—whether shutting down strikers in Serie A with Juventus or later leading Calcio Catania’s backline since your arrival in 2011. Opponents often found breaking through your defense trickier than saying 'Legrottaglie' five times fast!From proudly representing Italy between 2002 and 2009 to scoring vital international goals against teams brave enough to challenge your headers—you’ve given us moments that fans treasure forever. Enjoy celebrating like it’s match day; just avoid giving yellow cards at your party!
