Cuối cùng thì Zibi Boniek cũng bị loại khỏi danh sách 50 ngôi sao ở Delle Alpi mới. Cuộc bình chọn lại đã đóng sổ và người thắng cuộc là Edgar Davids. Anh nhận được đến hơn 58% số phiếu bầu của các Juventini. Con số 58% nghe có vẻ rất tuyệt đối và hình như các hội fan hâm mộ đã có thỏa thuận trước với nhau trước khi bỏ phiếu. Những người còn lại chỉ được khoảng 4-5%.

Voting ended this afternoon to choose the 50th Juventus legend, selected from a shortlist of 54 superb players who have worn the Bianconeri shirt. During the course of the past two weeks, through the official site Juventus.com, over 12,000 votes have been made, declaring Edgar Davids the winner. The Dutch legend will attach his own name to the new home of Juventus and from tomorrow “switching on a star” in the new stadium and placing it in his personal area will be possible.
“I’m extremely happy and honoured to have been chosen by the Juve fans”. This was the first reaction of Davids having learned of being the most voted player. The supporters continue to love the “pit-bull” and, during games, a banner reproducing the look of the Dutch player wearing his trademark protective glasses is always shown: “I don’t know why I’ve stayed in the hearts of the fans. Maybe because whenever I take to the field, I give more than 100%”
Edgar was the key man in plenty of Bianconeri triumphs, but the one he remembers most fondly “…is the clinching of the 27th title, when we celebrated in Torino, at the stadium, in front of all of our supporters.”
Davids was already part of Juventus history but now, having been awarded the star, his name will remain engraved in the new stadium: “I will certainly go to Torino with my family to see the site and my star, but I also went to go during the season, to attend a match and meet the team.”
