This time last year or thereabouts, Leonardo Perugini posted an ad on the AICS website wall. The Archinav chairman, head-coach and goalkeeper was on the hunt for a midfielder and a defender to bolster his squad in a bid to be crowned Zonale group champions and Aldo Marletta and Davide Filippi responded to such an ad and were soon recruited within the ranks.
Archinav did eventually win their league group and their march towards the championship final was only halted at the quarter final stage, by which time Clegg had scored 9 times for the club, while Fernandez also hit the target once.
What happened in the meantime belongs to history already. Perugini was recruited to the Pars' cause as well, owing to the temporary absence of Dunfermline No 1 Marco Semino, and the Scots never lost a game with him in goal.
Perugini went on to be promoted to the head-coaching position at Dunfermline, in addition to his playing role, and a further Par, Fabio Frassinelli, joined the Zonale side at the beginning of the 2008/2009 season.
The cooperation between the two sides reached even farther when Fausto Crosetti signed for Dunfermline, and Daniele De Maria has hitherto made his first appearance for the Scots in the process, albeit receiving a red card during the controversial game against Zena Caput Mundi.
Stefano Ganduglia was also called upon once by Dunfermline, and did himself justice with a greatly taken free-kick in the two-nil win over A Selesiun.
So far this season, Marletta has scored 8 times for Archinav, with Fabio Frassinelli getting on the scoresheet 5 times, but the latest addition, which will be officially unveiled tonight, as Archinav take on league strugglers Nuova Olimpique, is that of Marco Cantelli, a man capable of banging 39 goals for Dunfermline last term, and two in as many games so far this season.
DUNFERMLINE & ARCHINAV, the story so far...
LEONARDO PERUGINI has this far made 9 playing appearances for Dunfermline, losing just one of those games. He was promoted to the manager position at the beginning of the 2008/2009 season, meanwhile he has retained his role as second-choice goalkeeper. He's a founding member of Archinav, which he also coaches and plays for as a goalkeeper.
FAUSTO CROSETTI has so far featured in 10 games for Dunfermline, having joined the club at the beginning of the 2008/2009 season. He's also scored a goal for The Pars, in the unfortunate 6-3 defeat at the hands of Anni Settanta. He joined Archinav at the beginning of the 2007/2008 season and has so far scored 2 goals for the Zonale club.
FABIO FRASSINELLI has represented Dunfermline 46 times, notching 8 goals in the process. He joined Archinav at the start of the present term and has so far scored 5 goals for the club.
DAVIDE FILIPPI has 36 appearances and 1 goal to his name for Dunfermline. Having joined Archinav midway through the 2007/2008 campaign, he also netted once that same season.
ALDO MARLETTA is a founder of Dunfermline and their chairman and captain. He's so far recorded 54 goals in 55 games for The Pars, and joined Archinav in January 2008, and has scored 17 times for the Zonale outfit (9 times last season, 8 so far this term).
DANIELE DE MARIA has only made 1 appearance for Dunfermline and, while good, his performance was marred by a silly red card for foul play. His performance for Archinav includes an impressive tally of 23 goals last term, and he's scored 3 so far this season.
STEFANO GANDUGLIA has 1 goal from 1 game with Dunfermline, an excellent free-kick against A Selesiun. He got on the scoresheet twice for Archinav earlier this term.
MARCO CANTELLI well, he needs no further introduction. 42 goals in 28 games for Dunfermline, he's poised to make his debut for Archinav tonight.
