Some school days are unforgettable. Such as the day when an all-time football legend comes to campus and gives you special advice about looking out for your players and getting in the right position. Today, AISHK welcomed international footballing legend, Lilian Thuram.
Thuram is the most capped player in the history of the French national team, with 142 appearances between 1994 and 2008. He also played centre-back for Frances' winning World Cup team in 1998.
Thuram joined AISHK football players for fun five-a-side matches. He high-fived players and signed student's shirts and boots. The AISHK soccer Roos had a wonderful time meeting Thuram, they said,
"Lilian was fun on the pitch and really kind to us."
"I think sports is for everyone and everyone could enjoy today meeting a legend like Lilian."
"He spent a long time talking to me and giving me advice - he talked so much the Juventus mascot, Jay the Zebra, joined in!"
Thuram's visit to campus was made possible thanks to Juventus Academy Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Football Festival. Thank you to Juventus for an unforgettable morning at AISHK.
