"?Gianluigi Buffon is one of the world's best goalkeepers, and not just for his prolonged consistency over an insane period of time, or his loyalty to Juventus through relegation all the way to reigning Serie A champions.
No. He is also considered one of the best for his acts of kindness off and on the pitch, and this occasion is no exception.
During Italy's 4-0 destruction of Lichtenstein in their World Cup qualifier, Buffon, who has been capped by his country an amazing 166 times, didn't have too much to do in goal. In fact, he could have popped home for some Spaghetti before strolling back without conceding.
However, in this scenario, Buffon was greeted by a pitch invader half way through the game. Instead of calling for security to take away the young fan and have him arrested, he instead decided to give him a lasting gift of an official autographed shirt, even keeping his gloves on in the process.

Not only is he a top sportsman, but he's also a top guy. Hats off to ya' Buffon.
