Good Shouts Lofty!

Who was the first Italian to play in the Premiership?

Di Canio ?

Andrea Silenzi anyone! What a joker he was.

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

:

What about the Italian Ryan Giggs!!!

beat me to it Loz!

do Cascarino and Bonetti count? or maybe Scott Minto? - well they sound Italian

Cascarino was Irish ... er no he wasn't

The title of the thread is:

Italians that have graced the Premiership?

So why are Panucci, Taibi and Materazzi on the list?

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

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

Who'd of thunk it?

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

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

Lorenzo Amoruso

very briefly:

Dino Baggio

Nicola Berti

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

Lorenzo Amouruso, Dino Baggio, Corrado Grabbi.

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

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