Italy, three times world champions - 1934, 1938 and 1982 - are one of the best national sides in the world. Play for the azzurri, as they're known, is an honour for any player born in that country.

Del Piero's debut on the main squad was in March 25, 1995, when Italy beat Estonia 4-1. Although he has never really managed to show his real (and undoubted) class for his country, in seven years he's played many matches, scoring important goals in several different competitions and friendlies.

So far, he's already worn the numbers 7, 10, 11, 14, 17, 18 and 20 while playing for his country.
