Batistuta is a forward so explosive, so threatening and thrilling with his potent mixture of brain and brawn, that he will go down as one of the greatest goalscorers never to have played for a behemoth of the European game.
Throughout his nearly 15-year career, Batistuta has become Argentina's all-time top scorer, making 56 goals in 78 appearances for the nation's international team; his World Cup performances for Argentina--in 1994, 1998, and 2002--have resulted in 10 World Cup goals, placing him sixth in the record-books.
Though he retired from international soccer after the 2002 World Cup, Batistuta continues to play for the A.S. Roma club in the Italian league, where he has spent the majority of his career. He played center forward for Florence's Fiorentina Football Club from 1991-2000--during which time he scored over 150 goals for the team, making him the undisputed top scorer in Italian soccer--and joined A.S. Roma in 2000. In June 2001 he helped bring A.S. Roma its first Series A Italian League title in 18 years.
(this is an old bio...hes actually no longer playing in Italy. The last team he played for there, was Inter.)
I will never forget, a game where he single handely beat Inter (while he was with Fiorentina). He was just phenomenal in that game. Without a doubt, the greatest forward next to Van Basten and Shevchenko.
