Snapshot: Boca Juniors Legend Martin Palermo Retires, Dons Amazing Cape For The Occasion
By Chris Wright
At the grand old age of 37 (though we’d swear that he’s been 37 for at least the last five years) and after scoring a million goals in a thousand appearances over two spells at the club, Boca Juniors’ veteran striker Martin Palermo played his last ever game at La Bombonera at the weekend.
