Angelo Peruzzi · Italy
UEFA EURO 2004™ player's profile

A goalkeeper of huge promise as a youth, Angelo Peruzzi went on to fulfil his immense potential with Juventus FC, winning every conceivable honour as his excellent positional sense played a significant role in the club's success.

National team
Peruzzi played in the finals of EURO 96™ as Italy's first choice, and was a reserve at the FIFA World Cup in France two years later. However, after 26 caps his international career came to a premature halt after a 0-0 draw against Norway in February 1999 and he had to wait until 28 April this year for his next Azzurri appearance when he played in the drawn friendly against Spain.

Club
Born in 1970, Peruzzi was thought of as one of Italy's brightest goalkeeping prospects following an impressive loan spell at Hellas-Verona FC in 1989/1990. However, in October 1990 he was banned for a year after traces of the amphetamine Fentermine were discovered in a routine dope test.

1991: Peruzzi signed for Juventus in summer 1991 and rewarded the club's faith as he went on to establish himself as the first-choice goalkeeper. His career in Turin culminated in the 1996 UEFA Champions League final win against holders AFC Ajax, starring in the penalty shoot-out success in Rome's Stadio Olimpico.

2000: Having spent the 1999/00 season with FC Internazionale, Peruzzi joined S.S. Lazio the following season for a then world-record fee for a goalkeeper of €17.9m. Peruzzi played 30 times as Lazio claimed fourth position in Serie A and a place in the qualifying round of the Champions League.

2003/04: Enjoyed another fine term, playing 29 games in Serie A as Lazio finished sixth and five in the Champions League. The Biancoazzurri enjoyed more success in the Coppa Italia, beating Juventus FC 4-2 in the two-legged final to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

Did you know?
As a 14-year-old, Peruzzi was a ballboy at the 1984 European Champion Clubs' Cup final between Liverpool FC and AS Roma, which also went to penalties.
