Despite his international career effectively ending with an 18-month ban in 2010, he notched up 69 international caps and was part of his country's monumental EURO 2000 victory.
However, the Premier League is where he has enjoyed the most success having amassed 124 goals in 352 matches.
In his 4 years with Chelsea, which ended in 2012, he collected the golden boot once, as well as a Premier League title, and the FA Cup twice.

His fellow centre-back Campagnaro, meanwhile, has followed recently appointed head coach Walter Mazzarri from Napoli, the veteran agreeing a one-year stay in Milano.

Campagnaro also played a prominent role in Napoli's surprise second place finish in 2012/2013, being handed 27 starts by Mazzarri in Serie A.
The pair will now link up hoping to help Inter improve on a disappointing season which cost manager Andrea Stramaccioni his job.

The Swiss international made just 2 first-team appearances for Arsene Wenger's side last term, and spent the second half of the season on loan at Hannover.
The 26-year-old said his desire to play regularly was the deciding factor behind the switch.
Meanwhile, the Gunners have also agreed to loan midfielder Francis Coquelin to SC Freiburg for the season.
Coquelin signed a long-term deal with Arsenal in January 2012 and the 22-year-old will now have a year to hone his skills in Bundesliga.
Christopher Samba has returned to Anzhi Makhachkala from Queens Park Rangers.
Rangers revealed on their official website that they have received an undisclosed club record fee for the defender, believed to be roughly €14 million, who only joined the club in the January transfer window from the Russian team.
Samba, thought to have earned over €100.000 per week at the west London club, often failed to live up to expectations at Loftus Road and was badly at fault for two of Fulham's goals in a crucial 3-2 defeat against the Cottagers in April.
The Congolese centre-back made just 10 appearances for Harry Redknapp's side after he was signed for £12.5 million to help the club battle, unsuccessfully, against relegation.
Instead, the club are now looking to get some of their highest earners off the books, with Jay Bothroyd and Djibril Cisse already departing QPR, while Julio Cesar and Adel Taarabt are both available for transfer.

Atletico Madrid have reached a deal in principle to sign striker David Villa from FC Barcelona.
The two clubs have agreed on deal worth a total of €5 million, while the Spanish champions will receive 50% of any future sale.
Villa joined Barca in 2010 from fellow La Liga side Valencia and has scored 48 goals in 119 appearances across all competitions.
Tottenham Hotspur had been reported to be close to securing a transfer for the Spain international, but it appears that the Copa del Rey holders, who will feature in next season's Champions League, have now won the race for the striker's signature.

He enjoyed a successful spell at the club, winning a Copa del Rey medal in 2008 while also earning international success as Spain brought home the 2008 European Championship.
The 31-year-old made the move to Camp Nou in 2010 in a €40 million deal, winning La Liga and Champions League medals in his debut season.
But he missed 8 months of football through injury after breaking his leg at the FIFA Club World Cup in December 2011.
Upon his return he found his first-team opportunities limited and the Spain international almost joined Arsenal in the January transfer window.
Villa will move to Atletico for an initial €2 million, with an extra €2 million due if he stays at the club in the 2014/2015 season, while they will pay another €1 million if extends his tenure for a third season.
His first fixture could be against FC Barcelona in the Spanish SuperCup, as Atletico's Copa del Rey triumph means they meet the La Liga champions in the season's curtain-raiser.
The Frenchman has penned a one-year deal with the option to extend his contract by a further 12 months, the club announced on Monday.
Abidal was a free agent after La Liga champions FC Barcelona decided not to renew his contract.

Panathinaikos have confirmed the signing of SV Hamburg striker Marcus Berg on a 4-year deal.
The Sweden international, 26-year-old, moves to Greece for an undisclosed fee after only managing one Bundesliga goal in the last 2 seasons at the Imtech Arena.
Hamburg initially signed Berg from Groningen for almost €10 million in 2009, but his best return came in his debut season as he hit 4 goals in 30 league games.
He also spent the 2010/2011 season back in Eredivisie with PSV Eindhoven, where he notched 8 times in 25 league outings.
A 23-time Sweden international, Berg was named player of the tournament after top scoring at the 2009 European U21 Championship.

The 26-year-old has made the switch to La Liga after scoring 28 goals from 44 appearances in his first full season in Belgium last term, firing Brugge to third in the Pro League's post-season play-offs, securing Europa League football.
Bacca, who has also represented his country 4 times, netting twice, began his career at Atletico Junior, spending time on loan at Barranquilla and Venezuelan side Minerven before moving to Belgium in January 2012.
Bacca's addition marks the 6th signing for Sevilla in the close-season, following the arrivals of Nico Pareja, Vitolo, Raul Rusescu, Jairo and Marko Marin.
However, his signing could have implications on the future of Spain striker Alvaro Negredo, with reports suggesting the Andalusian side would allow the 27-year-old, who scored 31 goals last term, to leave upon signing the Colombian, amid interest from Manchester City.
Striker Facundo Ferreyra has joined Shakhtar Donetsk on a 5-year deal worth $9 million.
The 22-year-old made the switch from Argentine Primera Division champions Velez Sarsfield on Tuesday night, marking his first foray into European football.
The young forward scored 31 goals in 78 league games in Argentina's top flight for Velez and previous club Banfield, and he has insisted that the transition will not prove too testing.

Napoli have announced the signing of Jose Callejon from Real Madrid for a fee believed to be in the region of €10 million.
The Spanish attacker has signed a 4-year deal with the Serie A club, and brings his second stint with boyhood club Real Madrid to a close by agreeing to the move.
The 26-year-old made 40 appearances under Jose Mourinho at Santiago Bernabeu last term, but will now hope to help his new club build on their second place finish in the Italian top flight.
Callejon began his career with Real Madrid's C and B teams, after graduating from the club's youth academy.
But, after growing frustrated over a lack of first-team opportunities in the Spanish capital, he moved on to Espanyol on a 4-year deal.
His time at the Catalan club was the most successful of his career up until that point, as he made 106 appearances over 3 seasons, scoring 12 goals.
That form convinced Real Madrid to bring him back for a fee of €5.5 million, and the 26-year-old would go on to play a prominent role in their 2011/2012 title-winning campaign.
Atletico Madrid have confirmed the signing of Martin Demichelis from Malaga on a one-year contract.

Sociedad confirmed that Real activated the player's release clause of around €38 million, while Real revealed the player has signed a 6-year deal.

Fabrizio Miccoli has moved to Lecce after being released by Palermo, the Serie A team have announced.
The 34-year-old left Palermo after his contract expired following 6 years at the club, who were relegated at the end of last season.
Miccoli, who made 10 appearances for Italy between 2003-2004, has also played for Juventus and Fiorentina, as well as Benfica in Portugal.
He had been linked with a move away from Italy with Australian club Melbourne Victory mooted as a possible destination, but he settled on Lecce with the contract set to be formalised on Wednesday.
Lazio have confirmed the signing of Santos midfielder Felipe Anderson for a fee in the region of €9 million.
The 20-year-old has signed a 5-year contract with the Biancocelesti, bringing to an end a transfer saga that began way back in January.

However, those hurdles have now been cleared and the player has been able to finally complete his long awaited move to Stadio Olimpico.
