Antonio Cassano's Diadora match issued boots. This special made
to measure boots were issued for the season 2009. Both boots are personalized with "ANTONIO 99" and "CAROLINA". Cassano was born in Bari on the day after Italy beat Germany in the 1982 FIFA World Cup final, and his father left the family shortly thereafter. He was raised in the Bari Vecchia neighbourhood, and began playing football at an early age. Cassano was spotted by an A.S. Bari scout and brought up through the team's youth system, and he made his
Serie A debut for Bari against local rivals U.S. Lecce in 1999.
