   legendary doesnt do this man justice.sensational player,one of my favourites by a long shot.to play at that level for that long is incredible.i will be lucky to see another defender come close to him in my lifetime

   I’m Inter’s fan but I have a great respect for Maldini. He may not be the greatest, but he will surely be remembered as one of the most remarkable and consistent performers of all time.

   It’ a sad time for Italian football. All the best Italian players are retiring soon or have already: Totti, Maldini, Cannavaro, del Piero, Gattuso, Inzaghi, and Vieri; even Toni and Nesta will retire in a few years. The Italian national team has ceased to be a force in international tournaments but in five to ten years will return with the younger generation stepping up.

   him and hyypia will go down in history as legendary defenders…

   I’m a Liverpool supporter and can easily say that Maldini is a greater player and defender than Hyypia. You cannot compare the two, simple as that. It’s like comparing a Ferrari to a Holden.

   he is the greatest defender that ever lived. His long career is a proof of his superior athletic ability even at this age he was able to compete at a high level. My idol as a player. I named my son after him Maldini the one and only.
