    Wiping away the tears watching him being subbed in his last game for Juve.

    Legend is a word often over used, but in this case is spot on - what player and what a man.

    Absolute class personified. Amazing how he's still a top class goalkeeper even at 40 and how long he's been around at the top level is a testament to how he's kept himself these past two decades. Will go down as an icon for many, arguably the greatest keeper the world has ever seen, certainly in the discussion.

    I don't usually back clubs like PSG and the way they're funded, but if he does go there then I hope they win the Champions League as he very much deserves to bow out with the trophy.

    Was gutted he didn't play in 2001 so never seen him. Always talks highly of his experiences at Paradise so bring him home.

    Just read how he played against a former team mates son yesterday!

    Marcus Thuram was born whilst Buffon played at Parma with his old man.

    Jeez

    The best gk in the history of football.

    A true gentleman. I’ll never forget when Sweden played Italy in the WC playoff and during Sweden’s national anthem, everyone in the stadium drowned the anthem booed, and Buffon applauded with respect instead.

    Ruined his legacy, like Pep, by taking the Saudi's money, but that's just my opinion.

    Reminds very much of ex-Celtic goalkeeper Gordon Marshall.

    How so mate? I don’t think it takes any shine away from his career in the slightest. The guy is a giant of the game.
