Paolo Maldini (born June 26, 1968, Milan) is an Italian football player. He is the son of Cesare Maldini. Paolo Maldini plays as a defender and predominantly plays the position of left back, although he sometimes plays at centre back. Throughout his long career, he has remained a one club man with A.C. Milan, and is currently the club's (as well as Serie A's) most capped player at 582 caps after having outlasted Franco Baresi's record of 512 caps.
Maldini is generally regarded as one of the greatest defenders of his generation. He was arguably the best at the peak of his career, and is well known for his influential captaincy, ice-cool temperament and flawless defending. He is still playing at the very highest level, which is confirmed by inclusion to the FIFPro World XI in 2005, nomination to the UEFA Champions League 2004-2005 most valuable defender title, second place in Golden Foot nominations in 2005, and a top-ten finish in the voting for the 2005 FIFA World Player of the Year.
