Gabriel Batistuta...

This is my Idol player since i was young... i remember watching him play for the first time, Batistuta is very natural striker, doesn't needed variety of skill to scorer, so much idea, very strong physical, etc... The successful race of the maximum anotador in the history of the Argentina Selection.

He still the best for me, today, the striker who have batistuta style is such as Andriv Shevchenko & Luca Toni... I just like striker that have natural instinct (not depend only with great skills)...

Batistuta's impressive career began with Newell's Old Boys, then had brief spells at River Plate and Boca Juniors before spending nine years at Italian side Fiorentina.

There he became the club's record goalscorer, inspired them to win the Italian Cup and Super Cup and even had a statue erected in his honour at the ground, paid for by fans.

In 2000, he joined Roma, where he won the Scudetto, and three years later had a brief spell at Inter Milan before his ill-fated move to the Middle East.

As well as becoming Argentina's record goalscorer, Batistuta played for them in three World Cups - 1994, 1998 and 2002 - and was part of their Copa America-winning sides in 1991 and 1993.

He scored 56 goals in 78 internationals and spent much of his career in Italy but had his last contract, at Qatari club Al Arabi, cancelled due to injury.
