    I've searched, and I cant find anything. Does anyone have a list of players who were born in Sicily in top flight football around the world?

    Aldo Firicano was a good one for a while at Fiorentina....and Massimo Taibi was a great GK with the exception of his stint at Man United.

    Calaiò was one my favorites who helped Napoli from C1 to B to A a few years. Not quite good enough for a top flight team so we let him go to Genoa a couple weeks ago. He scored a goal today. Happy for him but wish he had gone to Palermo.
