Happy Birthday, Walter Samuel!

A pillar, barrier and indestructible wall: Walter Samuel was one of the best defenders in world football in the early 2000s. Having arrived to Inter in 2005, The Wall spent nine seasons with the club, becoming a key figure in an unforgettable period filled with wins and success. Samuel made 236 appearances and won 14 trophies with the club, including: 5 Scudetto titles, 4 Supercoppa Italiana's, 3 Coppa Italia's, 1 Club World Cup and the 2010 Champions League. Of his 17 goals scored in Nerazzurri colours, some remain etched in the memories of the fans, such as the decisive goal at San Siro in the 4–3 win against Siena in 2010, or the strike in the derby won 0–1 away to AC Milan in the 2012/13 season. A tough, uncompromising defender, unbeatable in marking and a quiet leader in the dressing room, Samuel was one of the pillars of one of the strongest teams in Inter’s history: memories that recently came back to life when Walter was a guest at Inter HQ together with Diego Milito. Born in Firmat, in Argentina, on 23 March 1978, Samuel celebrates his 48th birthday today: all of the best wishes from the Inter world and Nerazzurri fans!
