Here's the latest video of the construction efforts on the grounds of the old Delle Alpi. This marks the first ever confirmed visual sighting of Juventus' new stadium. For a much more in-depth look into the still very much unfinished complex, follow this link to an earlier post. In other stadio related news, the club has recently released a statement outlining it's plans for a "walk of fame" type shrine for Juventus' Top 50 legends to be included in our new home. Their names in alphabetical order, after the jump.
Juventus have revealed the names of those players who will be honoured by a Hollywood style walk of fame at their new stadium. The Bianconeri's directors wanted to retain the club's heritage at the new ground, which will be one of the most modern in the world when it opens.
A list of 50 legends has been produced, each of which will be allocated a star. The stars will be dotted around the stadium and Tuttosport understands that Juventus plan to group them perhaps according to era.
Michel Platini, Giampiero Boniperti, Omar Sivori and Gaetano Scirea have all been included, as expected. Some were surprised by Zibi Boniek's appearance in the list even though he won the Scudetto, a European Cup and Cup Winners' Cup in his three years at the club. Notable absentees were Roberto Boninsegna and Karl Aage Praest. Moreno Toricelli's inclusion made their absences all the more remarkable.
