Lupoli - first Italian canary?

Recommended Posts

Just thinking...is Lupoli the first Italian to sign for us? We''ve had Gaetano Giallanza, think he was half Swiss, Victor Segura, Spanish, and a few French (Louis Jean T, De Blois, Marc Libbra and one or two others whose names escape me) but I cannot recall one Italian?

He certainly is - and once you''ve tried one, you never go back (or so Gianluca Vialli used to say...)[;)]

He is (which in itself warrants chants of ''Oh Lupoli'' to the tune of the Italian anthem), and ''Juice'' is our first Gambian and I believe Stefanovic is our first ever Serb.

That''s unfair. Doc''s no donkey. When he saw the ENT specialist the other day he was told he was just a little hoarse.

BTW before  get caned, I think The Doc''s alright at CS level and has a good attitude.

Isn''t he a loan player? Hardly a signing then and so only a temporary Canary.

Probably...but we (Delia Smith) made money out of Ashton...whereas Lupoli''s home club will be the only long term beneficiaries of any success he has here.

Unless of course, he scores 25 goals this season and wins us a play-off final or gets us promoted ?  I know, it''s a long shot, but it might just work...

Just did a quick websearch and here are the types of Canaries there are.  As you can see the Italian is at the bottom so that must be Lupoli - not sure what his Gibber is, but hopefully it helps get 20 goals a season

  • Border or Border Fancy

  • The speckled Lizard canary

  • The many varieties of Crested canaries.

  • The smaller crested Gloster

  • The large and strong Norwich

  • Fife

  • Yorkshire

  • Stafford

  • The large and sometimes crested Lancashire

  • Columbus Fancy

  • Belgian

  • Hunchback

  • Scotch Fancy

  • Italian Gibber Italicus

Cluck, NO NO NO. Delia never made any money. I want Delia to be made a Saint. She is totally misunderstood especially when she has been on the wine.

I was bored with just having Roeder Supporter lol, so I was looking around for something interesting to put in, not aiming for something that is completely off topic though, so I think it is a temporary solution. It''s basically a PS3 sig, shows what game I am playing, and how much I have completed of certain games. Amazingly geeky I know! But like I said, probably temporary.

Can''t argue with that unlikely but possible scenario...but....what a massive void he would leave when he left for better things?

Actually, excavations have uncovered football matches in Norfolk as early as 56AD.

Brancaster Rovers had a side composed entirely of Italians, although the same could not be said for Caistor St. Edmunds Tuesday who had an Italian manager but a first team composed entirely of local tribesmen.

The two met in the final of the Challenge Chalice in May 56 at Bramptuna (near Aylsham) who had their own side interestingly nicknamed ''The Potters.''

Caistor''s indiginous eleven didn''t just get beat, they were absolutely crucified on the day and shortly afterwards the club folded as it couldn''t field enough players. Their place in the Ickneid League was taken by Burgh Castle Legionnaires who had a continental set up and a mixed group of various captured players from all over Europe.

Lupoli actually follows a long tradition.

If he gets us promoted we can afford better things.

But then I''d have to get a season ticket again and not be rude to Delia anymore......

Surely life couldn''t be that cruel could it?    [:''(]
