My mate was on holiday in Italy last month and bumped into a waiter who said he played for City, but his career was finished by a bad injury. He forgot to ask the guy's name and was wondering who it was. My first thought was Andrea Ferretti, but he's apparently still playing for Pavia and is only 29. This bloke was in his late thirties, my man thought. I've gone through all the City squads in the 1990s on worldfootball.net and there's no sign. I'm guessing - especially as Macheda is the only other Italian I can recall playing for us (or at least pretending to) - that this fella must have been in the youth team or reserves and never made the first team.
Any ideas?
