Marcello Trotta (Hamrun Spartans)

I think it is my worst Brentford memory. The silence and the thud off the bar.

I found the Crewe playoff loss worse.
..............so................which was worse?????.....................

Both scarred me clearly. For some reason I forgot to add the word final in the Crewe sentence. Heigh ho.

Saw Coldplay at the Napoli stadium in the past few days while mulling over his next move.

10 years ago today was that pen ?
“Heartbreak again for the Brentford”

“Can we bounce back?”

“Cawse we cahn, cawse we cahn!”

We did

At least he had the balls to come back the following year..it hurt at the time ..but it did give us an extra year to prepare for the championship..and we haven’t looked back..?
He wouldn't have survived a Twitter meltdown. :(

Nice interview. I think we did ask Fulham about bringing him back but they wanted silly money and it obviously didn’t even get as far as asking him. We did OK with Hogan and Gray after not getting Donaldson either though!

Was released by Avellino, in August, and appears to be without a club.

Would be good to have him at the G-spot for a pre match interview.
He played a significant part in our rise.
Judgey as well.
GPG interview would give the majority on here an opportunity to say sorry in person

I think he did that the following season and we did too. At the time I was slightly surprised both by his balls in coming back and by the support we gave him when he did. It’s actually quite remarkable and to both our credits. In a weird way he unintentionally probably made himself a bigger figure in our history by missing than if we’d just done it the easy way and gone up that day.

This guy has it right. It’s going to be a horror show.

Bring him in as a penalty coach

Didn't Coppinger score their breakaway goal straight afterwards? I didn't know they had scored as I had my head in my hands and thought it was the final whistle. I prefer to remember Marcello's goal at Brisbane Road and the opener in the cup against Chelsea.

Yep.

Just watching the Chelsea game brought back the memory of Trotta again (3 Chelsea players all argued about who should take a penalty, if you missed it!).
Anyway, random question time: did Trotta ever take a penalty for us again after this? I remember him being on the bench during the Swindon PO semi. TIA

Yes he scored one in front of Ealing Road against Gillingham iirc the season after. Made a gesture of apology afterwards

His spirit is still in west London. Was spotted at Stamford Bridge last night :)

The only Bees player I have ever shouted at....Wolves away......You Reds....

Leaving the game I noticed that Marcello is now pictured on the new hoarding opposite the entrance to the dugout. Wondered whether Igor had seen this - and led to his love affair with the woodwork today.
