At the tender age of seventeen he made his Serie A debut for Parma against European giants Milan, facing down the likes of Roberto Baggio and George Weah, keeping a clean sheet. During his twenty-eight-year long career Buffon broke many records including:\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eThe most capped goalkeeper of all time and the most appearance for Italy (176)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eThe most Serie A titles (10) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eThe longest time in Serie A without conceding a goal (974 minutes)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe numbers, however, only tell half the story of a player famously nicknamed “Superman” for his athletic prowess.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSaved \u003c\/i\u003eBuffon reveals that even superheroes struggle with their inner demons. Beyond his individual triumphs with Parma, Juventus and PSG – the famous World Cup win in 2006 – Buffon reflects on his deeply human challenges off the pitch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe describes being devoured by depression between games and the psychological toll of being a goalkeeper – the loneliest position in football - often finding solace in talking to his gloves. He opens up about his gambling, smoking during matches and the strains on his relationships which became fodder for the press. Buffon’s are the struggles of a man whose talents and flaws co-exit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSaved \u003c\/i\u003eis both a meditation on the art of goalkeeping and a love letter to the golden age of Italian football. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT DETAILS : \u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eISBN : 9780241787137 \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eBY (AUTHOR) Buffon, Gianluigi, TRANSLATED BY Foot, John \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePUBLISHER : Penguin Books Ltd  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePUBLICATION DATE : April 16, 2026 \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCOUNTRY OF PUBLICATION : United Kingdom \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIMPRINT : Viking \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLANGUAGE : English \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAGE : General \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003ePRODUCT FORM : Hardback \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003eDIMENSION : 243 mm x 161 mm \u003cbr\u003eWEIGHT : 420 g \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT CATEGORY :\u003cbr\u003e    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookazine-hong-kong.myshopify.com\/collections\/Biography-Literature-Literary-studies\"\u003eBiography, Literature \u0026amp; Literary studies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookazine-hong-kong.myshopify.com\/collections\/Sports-Active-outdoor-recreation\"\u003eSports \u0026amp; Active outdoor recreation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Buffon, Gianluigi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49888206815509,"sku":"9780241787137","price":280.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/7087\/3174\/files\/9780241787137.jpg?v=1777361626","url":"https:\/\/bookazine.com.hk\/products\/saved","provider":"Bookazine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
