Who was the first Italian to play in the Premiership?

[BLUENUT]

Di Canio ?

[bjd]

Andrea Silenzi anyone! What a joker he was.

Lets not forget Roberto Mancini, Padovano, Eranio and Lombardo too. All top players.

I for one found my experience watching the Premiership to be vastly enhanced by Massimo Taibi. Particularly by his performance against Southampton.

[The Moos]

Ahhh, Ravanelli. One of the reasons why I started watching football.

[Elliott]

Who'd of thunk it?

Roberto Mancini - playing for Li-ces-ter City.

[Joel]

Alessandro Pistone, surely someone would have named him by now.

Lorenzo Amoruso

very briefly:

Dino Baggio

Nicola Berti

[g3.7]

what about that useless one signed by souness (I think) for blackburn? the striker?

[midlandblue]

Lorenzo Amouruso, Dino Baggio, Corrado Grabbi.

[g3.7]

yes! and has massimo maccarone been mentioned yet? he was the new vialli.

could you imagine facing him being fed by ambrosetti? terrifying.
