The future is still very bright. 615 league appearances and over 1,100 total career appearances make Zanetti one of the most prolific players ever to play in Serie A. The former player still holds the record for most Serie A appearances by a foreign player. Lokeren, scoring 12 goals over 2 seasons. He was the top scorer of the Ekstraklasa during the 1972-73 and 1974-75 seasons. Lato ended up receiving a personal invitation from Pelé to play for the New York Cosmos. In 1980, having turned 30, Lato was finally free to leave Poland to pursue his career abroad. He rarely loses the ball, rarely gets booked, and is one of the first names on the teamsheet.
