+x+xDez Giraldi must be one of the biggest loses. didnt he play a heap of games in serie a at 18/19?
.. i looked and it was 23 games. can you imagine the fap fest if anyone did the same now?
Pretty sure if an Australian youngster played regularly in the Serie A there would have been a huge fap fest back then as well. Problem is I don't think he ever got any playing time for Empoli. The only source that says otherwise is Wikipedia. Every other player database I've looked says he's only ever gotten game time in the A-league. Foxsports also had a little segment of Australian players who have played in the Serie A after Sainsbury's transfer and Giraldi's name was not mentioned.
Ya, you might be right. The edit originally was made by an IP from Queensland in 2009. The IP changed it from 3 caps to 23 and that has remained for the last 7-8 years untouched. Not even sure if the 3 caps he had for Empoli are correct. Google search of his name between 2003 and 2005 bring up nothing as well.
