A son of art, born in Milanese football, after several loans and very few appearances in the Rossoneri shirt.
Carlo Cudicini in ’97 he decided to return to the game from Castel di Sangro. He stayed at the Giallorossi for 2 years until 1999 when Gianluca Vialli wanted him to be with him at Chelsea. Arriving as a reserve, he earned a place in the starting lineup within a few weeks. In 2002, testifying to Vialli’s happy intuition, he was named the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. Even with Ranieri Cudicini, he retained the status of the owner, lost only in 2004-2005 with the arrival of José Mourinho and, above all, Petr Cech. In 2009, after 10 years, he left Chelsea and moved to Tottenham, where he played 4 seasons. He ended his career in 2013 after a season in MLS wearing an LA Galaxy jersey. During his career, the number one Londoner by adoption has won the Scudetto, the Italian Super Cup, two FA Championships, 3 FA Cups, 2 League Cups, two Community Cups and a UEFA Super Cup. Carlo Cudicini turns 49 today.
Daniele Carnasciali, Massimo Maccarone, Joseph Yobo, Mattia Valoti, Bertrand Traore, Sebastiano Luperto and Andrés Tello were also born today.
