My favourite sportsperson

My favourite sportsperson is Diego Milito. He was born in Bernal, in 1979 and he was a football player. He began his career on 2001 at the age of 20 in the Racing club, an Argentinian football team. On 2004, he went to Genoa and he played there for one year, but with his transfer in the F.C. Inter he wrote the history. In that year, he won many trophies, like the Championship, the Cup Italia and the Champions cup, also known like the famous "Treble". One year later, he awarded "The UEFA club footballer of the year". This year he retired from football. I like him because he wrote a page of history of my favourite football team and he remained in the heart of us Inter fans.
