Am watching to see the Serie Bwin fixtures come out. Will be in central Italy for a while right at the start of the season, if Crotone open against any of the 6 teams in Tuscany/Emilia-Romagna I will try to get to it, have a group of 15 or so Canadians there.

I didn't realize until now that Padova were already playing in Serie B last season. I have corrected Marco Souths' info. on the MOACA. Good to see that he was named to the 18 man Primavera squad for their match on May 1st against Cesena:

He just turned 18 in March so he would have been as much as 3 years younger than some of his teammates and opponents last season.

I have come across this player, Valerio Alesi, who seems to be the first canadian in Serie A, unfortunately.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerio_Alesi

My understanding that he played in one game that was a cup game against Udinese and scored a the winning goal but never particpated in a serie A league match game, but i could be wrong, but i will look into it for you thanks for the info Jeremy that is a sharp observation and a good find, great job.

Here's a quote from a Collin Jose article about John Van't Schip:

In 1992 he was transferred to the Italian club Genoa, then playing in Serie A. He played for Genoa from 1992 to 1996 appearing in 107 games and scoring 11 goals. The last season 1995-96 Genoa were in Serie B. Thus he became the second Canadian born player to play in Serie A after Valerio Alesi (born in Hamilton in 1966) who played for Ascoli in 1984.

Tough to determine - his club were only in Serie A for his fist season and unless his game stats are available the wiki page is actually a bit vague. He might have been on the team but whether or not he played (or started) a Serie A match is still unclear.

Well according to this link:

http://www.rsssf.com/tablesi/ital85.html

An Alesi scored for Ascoli in week 12 of the 84/85 Serie A season against Udinese. It must be the same guy.

Here's some more proof if anyone wanted it: http://www.lega-calcio.it/it/Archivio-Storico/Match-report.page?idmatch=9CAC5296-C7A1-7A75-B8A1-B0365AD7C2C1

he played and was known as the canadian woodpecker in Italy i do not have how many matches he played by i will find he was 19 at the time nice find ........

Doesn't matter to us if these kids are the first or not, the important thing is that they have the support to get there so doors can be opened for future players. That is really the point. If they did play, thats great, but no one has followed in 25 years, way to long ago. I will assure you of this, that as a keeper, he has brought Canada's toughness on the pitch to light and dont think any of the players mentioned were keepers where they?

Uccello scores the 2nd goal of the two Crotone in today match at home. Now getting ready for their opener Coppa Italia in Reggina next week they are no longer in Ritiro and back to city lights of Crotone. I got a video of the footage of today;s game but a few starters rested.

Hey BigBird what is the fantastic news you received is Julian finally getting a well deserved call up to the national team.

what i said was it was fantasic news from the stillo camp of his progress on the first team pls qoute the complete or none at all of what I said to seem unfair to Robert Stillo..and my complete message was take out of text in yours

I thank you for your support and Uccello is ready anytime when that call up comes and I know he would be thrilled to play for the MNT and also entertain his home crowd supportersand the south curve that have not even seen him yet in action since he was 15. and he will do it with a bag of goals im sure

can someone else comment on this article and confirm my reading of it or my interuptation of it I'm not 100% sure thats the message im getting

From what I can get from google translation I think it's only saying that Stillo and his teammate received a call from their own national team (Canada and Ghana).

Genoa primvera team lost to Savona 4-2 on the 10th, Robert was not in the line up as a starter reason i think, as he was invovled with a call -up to the first team as back up, still no news of any signing yet it has taken a bit longer then others he has till august 31st, the result at Savona game is not a good one for genoa with 4 goals against, maybe this will speed things up and real soon, if not already,.
