David Trezeguet was a ruthless French striker with a poacher’s instinct, a natural finisher who thrived on chances inside the box. He announced himself at Monaco before a long and prolific spell at Juventus, where he became one of the most reliable goalscorers in Serie A.
A World Cup winner in 1998, he struck the golden goal that won France the European Championship in 2000. Clinical and single-minded, he built his reputation on a simple, deadly gift for putting the ball in the net.
