My All Time Favourite Soccer Player - Hidetoshi Nakata (Japan)

This is my all-time favourite soccer player, Hidetoshi Nakata who I still have a soft spot on him. What he lacked in pace was compensated with highly technical dribbling skills plus his exceptional vision which has been legendary in Europe especially in Italy.

Below is the profile of the celebrated player:

Full name : Hidetoshi Nakata
Date of birth : January 22, 1977 (1977-01-22) (age 30)
Place of birth: Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan
Height 1.75 m : 72 kg
Position : Midfielder (Attacking, Defensive, Playmaker)

Years Club App (Gls)*
1995–1998 Bellmare Hiratsuka (Japan) 85 Appearance (16 Goals)
1998–2000 Perugia (Italy) 48 Appearance (12 Goals)
2000–2001 Roma (Italy) 30 Appearance (5 Goals)
2001-2004 Parma (Italy) 67 Appearance (5 Goals)

He recently retired from soccer and maintained a low profile in life. His contribution to Asian soccer has been tremendous and his good looks have been the words amongst the girls around the world. Let's see the true Nakata as being broadcasted by Football Asia.
