Sport Today

Available for over a year

The man who inspired Gianluigi Buffon to be a keeper has told Sport Today the Juventus number one has to treat Saturday's Champions League final as just another game. Former Cameroon International Thomas N'Kono was Buffon's hero as a child. Buffon decided to move from midfield to going in goal after watching N'Kono play for Cameroon at Italia 90 & he even called his first son Louis Thomas after him. So how does N'Kono feel about being Buffon's hero? Photo: Gianluigi Buffon of Juventus celebrates. Credit:Michael Regan/Getty Images)
