[edit] Career
[edit] Television
He is more famous for his antics on the television screen, than his work on the soccer field. He appears on the popular Italian television show "Striscia la Notizia", where he makes skits and jokes with soccer players. Some of his targets include Luca Toni, Francesco Totti, Paolo Cannavaro, Alessandro Del Piero, and many more. Usually, in the skit, the player has a problem, and Centofanti magically appears in order to help them out.
[edit] Quotes
His famous saying is "Son Felice 100fanti e li sistemo tutti quanti."
On an episode of Striscia, after Centofanti started the sentence with "Son Felice Centofanti...", Totti ended by jokingly saying "...e son dolore a tutti quanti." Which translates to "I'm Felice Centofanti, and I'm a pain to everybody."
