Does anyone have any pictures of him in the 1993 Anglo Italian game at our place? Joe Jordan’s 1st game in charge if I remember rightly in a 0-0 draw with Stefan Effenberg also in their side

Lots of good players played against us, or just missed out of playing against us.
Cesena - Dario Hubner and Massimo Ambrosini Udinese - Thomas Helveg Piacenza - Massimo Taibi and Pip Inzaghi (on bench and out of squad respectively)

Piacenza - Massimo Taibi and Pip Inzaghi (on bench and out of squad respectively) Always remember the game against Piacenza, myself & a couple of mates made a rare visit into the Paddock, stood right next to the away dugout & spent most the first half leaning around the corner 'having a bit of banter' with the Piacenza manager & staff, we didn't speak a word of Italian & they didn't speak a word of English so you can imagine how it went. Anyroad half way through the manager sends one of his staff down the tunnel, bloke comes back out & gives us all some little Piacenza pin badges, thought that was pretty cool. (Strange badge, diamond shaped with a wolfs head on it).

I remember going this one as a kid and thinking how nice their kit was. Always had a soft spot for them ever since.

I am sure the referee was also Italian which were the rules i believe of the competition that year the ref was from the vistors country.
The game was very low key and the Ref's job seem to be make sure Fiorentina did not lose and Batistuta just walked about no effort.

The fella dressed head to toe in purple with their fans was a chap called Cesare who worked in a restaurant in Nantwich, huge Fiorentina fan. Seem to remember he had a purple cape on as well .
Stefan Effenberg also played for them that night

I remember a few girls swooning over Batistuta whilst all the boothen lads were shouting Gyp* and the caravan song. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/kwfoKwtHI0jglJZ4qZf6.gif) Is this him? ![](https://i2-prod.stokesentinel.co.uk/incoming/article1110859.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200e/2985356.jpg)

Cheeky git. Was about to protest then realised it made no sense She reminded me of it for a few weeks after though

I was there too, the kit was top notch, I'm now the owner of both their home and away from that season. Did have both the Stoke kits too. I wore the Purple home top on a trip to Florence and a lot of the locals stopped and chatted to me about it.

It must be the purple cus I loved our purple away kit aswell. Florence is definitely on my list of places to go mate 👍

Stefan Effenberg also played for them that night Don’t recall Effenberrg misplacing a pass or losing the ball all game. Still the best performance by any opposition player I have witnessed. Pure class.
