Ferrante Marco
Did you Know?
Ferrante spent 8 years with Torino, after moving to the club in 1996. During his time in Turin, he became one of the club’s all-time top goal-scorers, especially thanks to his goal-scoring tally in Serie B. He scored 27 goals during the 1998–99 season, which earned him the title of Serie B top-scorer, and also helped the club to gain Serie A promotion, although they were immediately relegated back to Serie B the following season. His Serie A record tally was ten goals with Torino during the 2001–02 season, when he came back to the club following a brief stint on loan at Internazionale in 2001, helping Torino qualify for the 2002 UEFA Intertoto Cup. During that season, he notably scored a goal in the Derby della mole return leg, against local rivals and eventual champions Juventus F.C., celebrating the goal by mimicking “Bull-horns” with his hands (the bull is the symbol of the Torino side, as it is the city’s coat of arms; the club is also known in its contracted form as “Toro”, which means bull in Italian). Juventus midfielder Enzo Maresca attracted controversy later in the match when he imitated Ferrante’s celelbration following his late equaliser, as the match ended 2–2. He remained with the club in 2004, after scoring 114 goals for the club over 235 league matches in Serie A and Serie B.

On 13 August 2016, Hart was dropped by new manager Pep Guardiola for the first match of the 2016–17 Premier League season. The absence followed his poor performances in Euro 2016, and Guardiola’s desire for a player with better footwork who could fill a sweeper-keeper role. Hart made his first start of the 2016–17 season in a Champions League qualifying match against Steaua Bucharest, as captain of the City side that won 1–0 on the night, 6–0 on aggregate. Following the match, Hart was applauded by the crowd, in an atmosphere which was described as resembling a pre-departure testimonial. Following speculation linking Hart with various top European clubs, including Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Everton, Liverpool, Milan and Sevilla, Hart surprisingly decided to pursue a season-long loan in the Serie A with Torino. In doing so, he became the first English goalkeeper to sign for a Serie A club since the league’s inception in 1929. On 11 September 2016, Hart suffered a tough start in his debut for Torino, being partly at fault for the first equaliser in a 2–1 away defeat to Atalanta when his punch from a corner fell at the feet of an opposing attacker who scored. This shaky start, however, proved only temporary as Hart kept consecutive clean sheets in his next two games against Empoli and Pescara, both of which ended 0-0, making several important and acrobatic saves in the latter despite his team being down to 9 men.
