Defensive Midfield
Marco Tardelli
This guys celebration in the 1982 world cup final is probably one of the most recognisable celebrations ever but he didn't just celebrate well he also played the game very well. He was able to attack and defend excellently and was always the core of the Juve team. While at Juve he won five Serie A titles, one UEFA cup, one European cup, one Cup Winners' cup and finally the big one the World Cup.

Zinedine Zidane
More commonly known as "Zizou", he was almost definitely the best player of his time but ended his amazing career controversially. The frenchman was recommended to Juve by former Juventino Michel Platini and Zizou became an instant winner at Juve winning two successive Serie A titles before leaving the club three years later for a World record fee of €76 million to Real Madrid. Zizou ended his career very controversially as he got a straight red in the 2006 World Cup Final against Italy for head butting Marco Materazzi.

Michel Platini
Easily one of the best ever Juventus players. Platini was up there with the best playmakers ever to touch a football and is known by most Bianconeri supporters as the person who scored the winning penalty in the 1985 European cup final. 1985 was not only an amazing year for Juve but even more for Michel Platini who was top scorer in Serie A with 18 goals and top scorer in the Champions League with 7 goals, but he wasn't finished there and went on to win the Ballon D'or in the same year.

Giampiero Boniperti
Many Bianconeri fans have never heard of this legend due to his age but boy was he up there with the greats. Despite finishing his career 52 years ago his record of scoring 182 goals for the club was only recently broken by Alessandro Del Piero. And like Del Piero, Boniperti spent his whole career at the Turin club. The Juventus legend was also included in the Top 125 Greatest Living Footballers in 2004 by Pele.
