Everton Alumni Alessandro Pistone

No...are you sure this wasn't a dream?

Kind of. Turned out it was a 0-0 at Anfield.

But he played centre half for that and I thought we'd get tonked but he had a good game;

Three minutes after that, Stubbs inexplicably left a through-ball which almost let in Le Tallec but Pistone saved him with a good clearance.

That's my only positive comment I have on Pistone at Everton.

Rightfully earned his placed on Everton Way.

Saw him at the train station leaving Wembley in 2009, after the United Semi. He came to watch the match under his own steam.

Thats about all I remember.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Remember him fronting a guy sat next to me for giving him loads as he set up to take a throw in

 

[Rita_Poon]

Wasn't he LB during that season we got 4th? IIRC He was easily the most improved player that season. He definitely had a season at LB, a foreshadowing moment for Moyes using a naturalised CB at fullback and them being a success.

Also I believe there is a story involving a car but I can't quite remember it and might be crossing a memory.

 

[Vintage]

Can't remember a whole lot about him but cool name. Kind of sounds like pasta that's been in a pot of booze for a while

 

[matty1878]

signed for us twice?

"*** OFF Pistone" is all I ever remember reading from a poster on ToffeeNet.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Since retiring from football, Pistone has made a number of appearances on the Italian Poker Circuit, and participated in the eight Annual Night of Aces event in 2010. Pistone also owns and runs a restaurant in Milano near Central Station, Italy, which specialises in Saveloy Dip

From Wiki.

Utter tosh. He was one of the first players I remember who would defend crosses by putting his hands behind his back which annoyed me immensely. Teenage me could not stand him.

The Italian Patterson

 

[Tipp blue]

I've got his autograph on a white Everton baseball cap in green marker, what a collectable that is, it's out in the shed somewhere, I'll have to root it out, I'll post a picture if i find it.

@cjuk87 this is your moment, mate.

 

[RalphDring]

Lovely hair ; Head and Shoulders ?

Him and Ginola down the left was glorious for flowing locks, shame Madar had been moved on by then. Ha(ir)lcyon days.

I'd erased this fella from my consciousness. Thanks, random AI.
