AFTER ITALY’S TRAUMATIC exit from Euro 2016, you’d forgive Gigi Buffon if he spent his holidays with his head down, not wanting to engage with anyone or anything.

But, when some local kids asked him if he wanted a kickabout in a nearby park, the 38-year-old just couldn’t resist.
Such a relatively simple gesture but those children now have a memory to last a lifetime: that day they got to take shots on their boyhood hero.
Magic.
