OFF THE PITCH: Stefano Rossi is a crude oil shipbroker, a colleague of Marletta's at the same desk, same company.



Stefano Rossi was signed by the Pars towards the end of the 2008/09 season, and his initial steps in the Primavera Tournament were remarkable.

2 goals in 4 matches may not represent a massive haul for a 7-a-side forward, however his contribution to the team was, and is, much ampler.


His pace and rapidity set him apart from all other strikers within the Pars' fold, with Cantelli representing pure technique and physical strength and Buccianti giving an option for a more long-ball-like, direct style of attacking play.


It has been rather evident in pre-season that Rossi is quickly integrating and gelling with the rest of the team, and his goal tally will also grow accordingly, no doubt about that.
