Crazy Diamond Posted 12 September, 2011 Share Posted 12 September, 2011 I briefly worked for the Club in 2006 and during this time was responsible for coverage of the under 18's. Whilst I was there, Georges Prost spoke about an Italian-American kid that he was desperate to sign, saying he was one of the best prospects he had ever seen. Initially there was a holdup with paperwork, I remember Prost saying he just knew it was at the bottom of the pile at some passport office or something like that. I think there was a wait on getting the go-ahead from the Home Office. When he did sign, there was still a struggle to get international clearance to play him. Whatever happened to him? He's disappeared off the face of the earth as far as I can tell. He had a spell at a development team (Dayton Dutch Lions) but seems to have moved on. Georges was a very well respected youth coach - wonder if he got it a tad wrong on this occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giallombardo began his footballing career with Southampton, but failed to make a first team appearance for the club before departing in 2008. Since leaving Saints Giallombardo has returned to America and now plays for USL Pro side Dayton Dutch Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 12 September, 2011 Author Share Posted 12 September, 2011 He apparently signed a professional deal in 2007, I'm surprised we didn't hear a bit more about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
