Claudio Paul Caniggia, that's the name of the living legend in soccer. Born on January 9th, 1967 in a small town called Henderson, Argentina, Caniggia looks more like a hard-living rock star than a world-class athlete, with his stringy blond hair and taste for cigarettes. He's 34 now, but he still has what forwards covet most: the sheer, raw speed to burn past defenders toward the goal.

His biggest chance to perform and did something for his country in WC 1990 final was stolen by a damn referee who gave him yellow card for doing absolutely nothing wrong in semi final. Someday you have to pay for that, referee! He's shining like the most beautiful star when he played in Atalanta and AS Roma, but then got into some troubles, people accused him for using drugs. This made him did a come back to his homeland thanks to the legend-no-one-does-it-better Diego Armando Maradona. Then his star's shining again in Dundee, which made Rangers, Champions League participant interested and signed this long-blond-haired-cute-smile for next season. Let's all see his strike!
