Ignacio Scocco went to River plate and won a few trophies iirc. Lorik Cana at Lazio playing European football anarl I suppose.
Sunderland [edit] On 30th January 2014, Sunderland completed the transfer of Scocco for €3.65 million, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal, as one of Gus Poyet's four transfer window signings.[16] Asked about Scocco in April, South American football expert Tim Vickery wrote in his weekly BBC Sport column: "He might not be a big target man centre-forward, but he has some penalty area presence and moves outside the area with fluidity and intelligence." Although Sunderland avoided relegation, Scocco failed to score in eight appearances, all of which came from the bench.[17] He was an unused substitute as the side lost the 2014 Football League Cup Final 3–1 to Manchester City on 2nd March.[18] On 23rd July, 2014, Sunderland confirmed his departure back to Argentina, returning for his third spell with Newell's Old Boys.[19][20] I can vaguley remember him now, wow @WorkyTicketFTM what a memory
Claudio Marangoni needs a name check here, more than 20 years ago maybe, but well , I just like to remember him, worth watching even in our reserves ffs.
Let's go back much more than 20 years......I give you John O'Hare. Ponderous with us, never looked like it.....then,!st Div winner and European Cup winner with Forest years later....capped by Scotland more than a dozen times I think...in the days when they had a good team! Complete mystery to me.
Jason Steele. I still wonder what the f was going on every time I see him play for Brighton as a premier league regular.
Marangoni started his playing career in 1974 with Chacarita Juniors he then joined San Lorenzo in 1976 In 1979, he joined Sunderland of England where he failed to settle, his contract was terminated in 1980 and he returned to Argentina. Marangoni played one season for Huracán before joining Club Atlético Independiente in 1982. He won three major titles with the club, the 1983 Metropolitano followed by the Copa Libertadores and Copa Intercontinental in 1984. The 1984 Intercontinental Cup was an association football match between Liverpool of England and Independiente of Argentina on 9 December 1984 at the National Stadium in Tokyo, Japan, the annual Intercontinental Cup contested between the winners of the Copa Libertadores and European Cup. Independiente were appearing in their sixth Intercontinental Cup, they had won the competition once in 1973 and lost the other four. Liverpool was making their second appearance in the competition, after their loss in 1981. Watched by a crowd of 62,000, Independiente took the lead in the sixth minute when Claudio Marangoni sent a ball over the Liverpool defence for striker José Percudani who beat the advancing Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar to give Independiente a 1–0 Liverpool had the better of the possession during the match, but they were unable to convert their chances and the match finished in a 1–0 victory to Independiente. In 1988, he left Independiente to join Boca Juniors where he won a further two international tournaments, the Supercopa Sudamericana 1989 and the Recopa Sudamericana 1990. Upon retirement, Marangoni started Escuela Modelo de Futbol y Deportes, the first-ever professional soccer schools and sports clinics for Argentina's youth. The schools serve children from age 3-13 and are franchised throughout the country, serving public and private schools, community centers, country clubs and businesses. Integral to the company's model is free tuition for underprivileged children. Since selection, he expanded his training schools to Chile and Spain
If he can play in the EPL then I think the coaching set up at SAFC back then has to be brought into question. Hang on, it was. It was ****e!!!!! In fact the whole set up back then was abysmal. Larry Grayson as manager, Fred Karno’s dancing troupe in the background with Pans People on the pitch. Is it any wonder we were crap.
