Think I might have seen it on the web somewhere. The Champion will have it in their archives.

Yeah but he was born in Bradford in Yorkshire - I doubt he's got an Indian passport

Italian - Rafael Cretaro (well he's qualified to play for Italy - betcha Zidane wouldn't headbutt him)

BTW Kevin Fallon isn't from New Zealand - he's English now living in NZ.

BTW2 I'm led to believe that I was among the now 128,427 people who were in The Showgrounds when Straka scored the penalty.

I think you'll find that it was actually 129,000+ (they stopped counting when they reached that nice round figure...) :D

Well, Raf is more Italian than Tony Cascarino was Irish.
