Happy birthday to Julio Cruz!

MILANO - "El Jardinero", a player who thrilled the Inter faithful with important goals and his dedication on the pitch, turns 49 today. Julio Cruz was someone who always displayed a spirit of sacrifice and plenty of determination, and quality certainly wasn't missing from his game.

During his time in Nerazzurri colours, he often made a decisive contribution off the bench. In six seasons at Inter, he bagged 75 goals - many of them spectacular - in 195 appearances, winning the Scudetto (x4), the Coppa Italia (x2) and the Supercoppa Italiana (x3) along the way.

Best birthday wishes to "El Jardinero" Julio Ricardo Cruz from FC Internazionale Milano and Nerazzurri fans worldwide!
