Giuseppe "Beppe" BergomiOMRI[1] (Italian pronunciation:[dʒuˈzɛppeˈbɛppeˈbɛrɡomi]; born 22 December 1963) is an Italian former professional footballer who spent his entire career at Inter Milan. He is regarded as one of the greatest Italian defenders of all time,[2][3][4] and as one of the best of his generation,[5] being elected by Pelé to be part of the FIFA 100 in 2004.[6]
A one-club man, Bergomi held the record of most appearances for the club for several years, while also being the side's longtime captain. He was affectionately referred to as "Lo zio" ("the uncle")[7] because of his bushy eyebrows and the impressive moustache he wore even as a youngster,[8][9] which reminded teammate Gianpiero Marini of his own uncle's appearance.[10]
Bergomi works as a pundit at Sky Sports Italia and frequently co-commentates on Serie A matches alongside Fabio Caressa.[11]
