As regards Vicini, yes, he was a player of Sampdoria, and so his assistant Brighenti (who also was topscorer of serie A once).

And Lippi too! If You trust Wikipedia he was playing for us for 10 years

(between 1970 and 1980) and he was a coach of our youth teams. I didn't know that!

Yes, and he was the captain of Sampdoria too. He just left for Pistoiese at the end of his carreer but came back as a coach of the youth teams.
Lippi has never forgotten his past, he has often been noticed at Marassi and often visited Bogliasco. I respect him for what he did some years ago. We were in serie B but we had to face Juventus in the Italian Cup at Turin. After half a hour or so we were already 1-4 and Juventus scored one more goal before the end of the first half. At this point Lippi said to his players "No more goals" (the images of TV clearly showed his waves). And Juventus did not score more goals, in the second half Sampdoria even scored the 2-5, a score heavy but not so heavy as it could be. Infact I believe that Juventus could easily score 10 goals that night if they had pushed.

Those things could easily be misunderstood as patronizing, though, as Spalletti's gesture to Catania after the 7-0 massacre. But I guess it was better than hammering Samp completely...

And what have You decided?

What with Cerezo carrier in the international competitions? Was he important, well known player of the Brazilian National Team?

Sorry was on holidays for a while. Decided on Viedakavods number over Cerezo, luckily enough they didnt have names on the back of jerseys back then.

Another legend: Trevor Francis :hopeful:

Toni! I know that Francis is one of Your favourite Samp players

.
Maybe someone will write about our president Mr. Paolo Mantovani? I know Samp supporters still remember and love him...and I have seen video (in the same site as this one about Trevor Francis) about him, including pictures from his funeral...I know one of streets was given his name. When had been Samp president I have just started followed the team so I don't know much about him.

On the Wikipedia I have found his words: "L'unica cosa di cui non sono pentito, nella mia vita, e di essere diventato presidente della Sampdoria". What does it mean?

"Being the chairman of Sampdoria is the only thing I did not regret in my life".

And yes, Trevor Francis is one of my fav players ever, even if unfortunately I was too young to appreciate is class... and he was too many times injured. :undecide: BTW those shirts with Phonola as sponsor were fantastic, in particular the away kit, white with the vertical band. My fav kit ever.

Sorry for Alvise Zago, whose carreer was ruined by an injury in this game, but you can clearly see that it was absolutely fortuitous (even if the supporters of Torino go on saying that Victor was a killer).

I was on the stands of Comunale with my father.

I have seen an article in newspaper that Sinisia Mihajlovic is considered as the next coach of Serbia National Team (as Clemente failed Euro Qualifications). I still remember another ex-Samp from Balkans coaching national team - Katanec with Slovenia.

I don't trust Wikipedia for 100% but look here:

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unione_Calcio_Sampdoria

You can look for "Giocatori celebri" and find big names that played for us. I don't know why they put there some present players (like Accardi or Campagnaro) and some of them can't be called "Samp Legend" but it is interesting. I didn't know about Des Walker playing for us.

ToniSamp · Aug 11, 2008

Des Walker was a big failure and indeed should not appear in that list. I think there should be one list for the famous players who hardly gave a contribution to Sampdoria (Klinsmann, Des Walker, Lee Sharpe...), while players like Stendardo and Caracciolo should simply be forgotten!

I read that Sinisia Mihajlovic had been announced as a new coach of Bologna. There will be quite big Samp colony in Bologna

I remember I was quarreling with everyone who was telling me Roberto Carlos is the best free kick taker in the world :tongue::eyepatch::strong:. I was telling them that Sinisa is much better

.
Mihajlovic was incredibile because he was dangerous with any position and any range...I remember him trying to score the frick kick from midfield line ! :dielaugh:

Definitely. The FKs of Roberto Carlos could be spectacular, but the FKs of Mihajlovic were goals.

Doriani · Jul 3, 2009
