AN ITALY football legend looked unrecognisable as he moonwalked down the street while stuffing his face with pizza.

The retired star was having a ball as he devoured his mammoth slice.

And the footwork left plenty to be desired with some questionable dance moves.

Those following the former Inter Milan hero would have been forgiven for thinking it was a random bloke strutting his stuff on a narrow road when it popped up on their Instagram timeline.

Especially because he was wearing a puffer jacket, cargo trousers, boots and a backpack.

But it was, in fact, Christian Vieri.

His bizarre video has racked up more than 1.1million views.

Meanwhile, another bonkers clip of him dressed up in a yellow coat and blue hat ready to play padel tennis came next on his timeline.

Vieri, now 48, spent 18 years as a professional footballer, with most of those spent playing his club football in his homeland.

His longest spell was with Inter between 1999 and 2005, scoring 123 goals in just 190 appearances following his record transfer from Lazio.

He also joined Juventus and AC Milan and had two stints abroad - smashing in 29 goals in 31 games for Atletico Madrid and five in 11 for Monaco.

Vieri - who claims he could have chosen cricket instead - also earned 49 caps for Italy, finding the net 23 times.

His illustrious career saw him win the Coppa Italia and Under-21 Euros twice as well as Serie A and the Uefa Cup Winners' Cup.

He hung up his boots in 2009 and stepped into DJing and punditry - as well as eating more pizza.
