Buffon becomes 4th player to make 600 Serie A appearances

Juventus icon Gianluigi Buffon is breathing rarefied air, the enduring shot-stopper becoming just the fourth player in Serie A history to make 600 appearances by starting Sunday's contest against Chievo.

The 38-year-old, who made his Serie A debut as a member of Parma when he was just 17 years old in 1995, joins a trio of league titans in the exclusive club; only Francesco Totti (607), Javier Zanetti (615), and Paolo Maldini (647) have laced up their boots more times in Italy's top flight than Buffon.
