alessandro zarrelli

alessandro zarrelli -lrb- born 5 september 1984 -rrb- , sometimes referred to as alex zarrelli , is an italian semi-professional footballer and academy professional football coach , who plays as a defensive midfielder for south of scotland football league side st cuthbert wanderers .
he is also known in the united kingdom as the young italian player who sent fake faxes to football clubs in wales and northern ireland during the 2004 -- 05 season posing as a make believe italian football official who was offering a young professional footballer on a cultural exchange from the italian football association .
upon accepting the offer , the player they would receive instead would be zarrelli , a young footballer who had gone through the youth system at a.c.d. asti .
having managed to secure a short deal with lisburn distillery , he failed to impress both bangor city and connah 's quay nomads despite spending time training with both clubs , and after both clubs sent out an alert over the `` mystery italian football star '' in may 2006 , he was eventually exposed by the sky tv documentary `` superfakes '' .
since then , zarrelli has forged a career as a semi-professional footballer in scotland and england , has graduated in sport at leeds metropolitan university and now coaches youngsters at academy level .
he has previously played for lisburn distillery , queens park , irvine meadow , northwich victoria , hucknall town , lincoln moorlands railway , diss town , downham town , long melford , ware , erith & belvedere , eastbourne town , sheppey united and selkirk .
