Ahead of emotionally taxing weekend no.1 (aka Last Home Game) I bring links to a short piece by the Guardian's Amy Lawrence (the mid-week Footy podcast is worth a listen to for her comments about the effect he had on her when she interviewed him) *grins* and also some lovely words from Alessandro Del PieroI'm NOT crying, it's just some dust in my

The day is close at hand, the day I had closed my eyes to in the hopes that it would not come. I still cannot put my head around the idea that it is our captain's final match. I have been overcome by emotions especially because I will finally make it to Milan in September but I will be too late ... =(((

Thank you Il Capitano! Much love!

I can empathise with you. I got to rome, planned to spend a week in Italy, but hated Rome so much I left without making it to Milan. Single greatest regret so far.

I really hope that the other Milan players redefine the term "110% effort" for Paolo

Paolo Maldini will always be GOD to me. I'm crying my eyes out.
