Bluebirds with an Italian Connection

[Tuerto]

Ramsey was at Juve, Jay Bothroyd was at Perugia? Ferratti was shit, but played in Italy, John Charles, Gerry Hitchens. Anymore out there? However loose the connection is.

Lots of supporters from Bari!

Sorry Yoko, I meant Ojo, although you’d most probably be an improvement on him.

[Tuerto]

I like that. Who were those two players we had , Mirko bolesan and another?

[pipster]

Who was the bloke that used to run Giovanni's - he was always in the Echo offering to sponsor something in return - for free publicity....

Giovanni Malacrino

Saw him in the football stadium car park last week

I’m sure during our ECWC adventures that we never crossed swords with an Italian club.

No, we didn’t- we’d have played AC Milan in the Final if we’d beaten Hamburg wouldn’t we?

We would have, they beat Hamburg (your favourite club in the whole wide world) 2-0. Strange how we never played an Italian side though.

Let it go, Bob

Lamouchi played in Italian football, didn't he?

But we toured Italy in 1963, losing to Juventus and Roma and drawing with Latina.

Ricci Scimeca - Italian father

Exactly what I'm after

[Moodybluebird]

Didn't play for us but Giorgio Chinaglia was brought up in Cardiff and went to Lady Mary's I believe. Played with Pele and Beckenbauer at New York Cosmos and played and scored lots of goals for Lazio as well as being capped by Italy. Sadly he played a few games for the Jacks not us.

[the other bob wilson]

There was that Ferreti who Sir Alex Ferguson was supposed to have recommended to us who played a few games about fifteen years ago.

Gary Medel

Sol Bamba played one game for Palermo during a three year contract!

Tony Vendito, was in the 70's with a big Headline in the Echo "Italian striker on trial with City " . He was a waiter ( eventually restaurant owner) who was playing Sunday league for Cardiff Italians , and once or twice City supporters club .

My Mum is Italian. Does that count?

What position does she play?

[Bobby Dandruff]

What position does she play?

She is nearly 92 so not as mobile as she used to be.

A bit like Joe Ralls.
