Gianluigi Buffon Biography – Preview - For World Cup keeper Gianluigi Buffon, there's little that could still impress him in the game he's been involved in for what seems like an eternity. Deemed by many as the most complete soccer goalkeeper of our times, a Buffon biography was inevitable on my site, despite the fact that it's a lot harder for a goalkeeper to reach the same levels of fame as a field player.Gianluigi Buffon Biography – Abilities - Usually, it's said that a tall goalkeeper will have softer reflexes, although making up for them through sheer size, whereas a shorter goalkeeper will be more agile. If there was ever an exception to strengthen the rule, Gianluigi Buffon owns copyright for it.

Being a tall goalkeeper (6 feet 4 inches), Gigi, as he is called by his teammates, has the hands of a pickpocket and the agility of a gymnast. His lighting fast reflex saves as well as his gravity-defying jumps for the ball earned him the heart of millions across the World.

What truly makes Buffon stand out of the crowd (as there are other soccer keepers with good stature and fast reflexes) is his ability to give confidence to his teammates. Although mistakes are inevitable for a soccer keeper, Buffon reduces that error chance to a minimum, being, for my opinion, the most reliable keeper of today.

Gianluigi Buffon Biography – Parma - Born in a family of athletes, with his mother being a discus thrower, his father a weight lifter and his two sisters volleyball players, Gianluigi Buffon took up on soccer, soon getting his first professional contract at age 17, from Parma FC.

Being sent straight into the hells of Serie A, one of the hardest leagues to play in if you're a goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon proved to have a strong mind and a strong body and quickly earned a pinned down first squad position.

It's said that a great soccer striker will score a goal every two opportunities he has. Then how would this logic rate Didier Drogba, one of today's most famous strikers, who doesn't even need a second chance to score?

Didier Drogba Biography – Early Career
Born in the Ivory Coast, Didier Drogba didn't have anything brought to him on the silver platter, as his family struggled to give the young boy a proper education in a harsh environment.

Moving to France with his family meant a huge step for Didier, as he was sent to live with his uncle, Michel Goba, who was a professional footballer. His uncle, a striker in the Ivory Coast national team and playing for second division club Brest, introduced the young footballer Drogba to the joy of soccer as well as teaching him a few tips and tricks needed by every striker.

At age 15, Drogba rejoined his family in the town of Levallois, where he took up soccer for the local team's youth club. At age 17, he made his debut in the first squad of the team that played in the fourth French division. Playing at such a low level, when Le Mans, who was playing in the second division at that time, offered him a contract, Didier Drogba immediately signed.

Season	Club	Games	Goals
1998-2002	Le Mans	62	11
2002-2003	En Avant Guingamp	45	20
2003-2004	Olympique de Marseille	35	19
2004-06/07	Chelsea	91	42

Didier Drogba Biography – Le Mans and Guingamp - Didier Drogba played for four years at Le Mans in the second division and although content with the fact that he was finally having a better life with the modestwage offered by the club, he was hungry for more in regards of soccer.

At age 24, being already considered a mature footballer, Drogba was finally noticed by a first division club, in En Avant Guingamp, who were at that time a mid-table Ligue 1 team.
