Juventus keeper Buffon is Cameroon mad

Gigi Buffon intends to shake off his nagging back injury and play for Juventus until he is 42 years of age!

The Juve No1 said: "I know my body very well and I also know how best to guard the goal. You don't have to be an acrobat. I know I can play on for a long time - until I am 41 or 42 years of age.

"I don't regret playing in Serie B. I never look further than my nose. These two years away from Europe have not been a punishment."

Buffon also revealed he's a mad Cameroon fan.

"I know from heart the Cameroon team of the 1990 World Cup. I loved them, especially the goalie, Thomas N'Kono. Since then, he has been my absolute idol."
