It might have taken Marco Materazzi until he was 28 to join Inter, but it was the only club for him from that point, spending 10 seasons there, and becoming an icon among the fanbase.
His status will only have grown further with his latest actions.
Holidaying in Rio de Janeiro, the former defender took himself up to the famous Christ the Redeemer statue, only to find an anti-Inter sticker when got to the top.
Needless to say, it wasn’t there by the time he left!
Materazzi made 276 appearances for Inter, scoring 20 goals, and winning everything possible, including five Serie A titles and the 2010 Champions League.
