Everton Alumni Alessandro Pistone

Remember the wife & me going to the Joe parkinson testimonial we went to the players
Entrance and this guy was standing by the entrance the wife asking who he was
He had piercing blue eyes every time his name came up the wife would
Always comment on his looks

Yeah very Italian look, that - dark colouring but then the blue eyes - striking on either sex, as yer missus obviously noticed!

Do you have any kids, do they look a bit Italian?

Wasn’t Valente here at the same time? I really can’t remember who was better . Absolute blank .

I remember Valente making his debut in 2005, first minute, the ball getting played back to him, Valente performing a simple control and 10 yard pass and someone shouting, “ he’s already better than Pistone”.

Fulham at loftus road?. Was that the game when the club paid for all the transport? Midweek game

Yeah I think it'll be the FA Cup replay game. Got beat in extra time.

Have we ever signed a decent Italian player?

 

[Rita_Poon]

Matteo Ferrari?

 

[Rita_Poon]

We've only had 4, and Matts is probably the most obscure.

Pistone was probably the best, even Materazzi who went on to play nearly 200 times for Inter Milan and 40+ times for Italy couldn't cut it for us and loved an injury to himself too. Mind you, although he was sent off 3 times for us in about 25 games he nearly cost Inter the title by insisting on taking a penalty and missing it but at least he eventually received the nod from Zidane.

Every match one of our lads put a couple of quid on him to score at the bookies in the bowels of the paddock.

One week the fella says to him "tell yer what lad, I'll give ye odds on him to make a pass"

here comes the wife punchline in... 5...4...3...

Matteo Ferrari?

Gutted we never kept him.

[GoldenToffee]
