Italian Soccer

[bigboab]

I am going away for a day so I was wondering if anyone can help me with this problem?

Can anyone name five Italian intenational soccer players, who have played for Italy in the last ten years and whose surname does not end in a vowel?

Thanks in anticipation. I maybe should have put this in the Gauntlet. But I am frightened because Titey is around somewhere. :D

Buffon is the only one. Zoff is another but that was in the 80s.

Diego Fuser is definitely one.
Not sure when Pietro Vierchowod's last caps were, 90's anyway.

Thanks for trying people. But I think I have the answer. If you include 1993 as 2003 is not yet completed you have the following:-

COIS
BUFFON
FUSER
SARTOR
VIERCHOWOD

I know I just can't help it. :P Heres a wee one you can do yourself, or with a little help(Not from me).

Name five Glagow Rangers players in the last ten years who had a 'Z' in their name. 'GAZZA' does not count. :D

[callum]

Jorg Albertz
Lorenzo Amoruso
Dariusz Adamczuk
Zurab Khizanishvili
Shota Arveladze

Easy :P

[bigboab]

Well done, though it would appear that you have first hand access to the facts. :rolleyes:

He cheated Darth! His Avator is a Rangers strip. B)

another good one would be to name 5 of brazil that not end in a vowel like o.
e.g. rivelino, ronaldo, rivaldo, zico, pele, and so on. one to start, that scored an absolute screamer in one of the world cups, i think it was 86, josimar, and the greatest of the moment at left back, one roberto carlos.

[bigboab]

[callum]

Hibs. :D

[The Horror fanatic]

[The Horror fanatic]

Kilmarnock
Aston Villa
Northampton
York City
East Fife
East Stirlingshire
Newtown
Ebbw Vale

[The Horror fanatic]

good list of eight, but i guess kilmarnock, northampton(without the town now), liverpool, newtown, lincoln(without the city now), and celtic(now without glasgow) would be six one named teams. Aston villa, york city, east fife, ebbw vale, and charlton athletic would be five 2 barrel named teams.
