Soccer Superstars: World Cup Heroes - Christian Vieri DVD

This fascinating documentary presentation takes a look at the life and career of the top Italian striker Christian Vieri. Born in Bologna on 12th July 1973 Vieri's family soon emigrated to Sydney where he quickly settled in one of the largest Italian ex-pat communities. Currently playing for A.S. Monaco in France Vieri has built something of a 'journeyman' reputation for the number of clubs he has played for but what a 'journeyman'! A consistently high-scorer in Serie A and for the national team Vieri is hoping to cement his place for the 2006 finals in Germany... but faces stiff competition if he is to make the first team. Regardless Vieri can lay claim to be one of the greatest Italian goal-scorers of the past decade and even Pele found the time to mention him in his list of the 125 greatest living footballers in 2004 of which 50 were still active. This documentary features interviews with residents from Christian Vieri's hometown and the people who were influential in his life. Not only that but Vieri himself offers his own thoughts on his achievements. With a smattering of top quality footage of Vieri in action this is ideal viewing for fans of the player and the game.
