Our lasses brother was stationed in Ferrara, between Venice and Bologna. Local team SPAL were playing Brescia in a relegation match. When they came out and went for a pint and discussing how the match went,(SPAL lost and got relegated last season). Both remarked that the black lad for Brescia looked the business.............it was Mario Balotteli another bloke told them.

Brescia failed to renew the contract after relegation. WIKI says he's training with a Serie D side......
