SPOLETO – He’s a friend, an easy-going, joking guy, an excellent player and where he was they loved him, but now, after 20 years of career, at the end of this season he said “enough”.
The Spoleto is hanging up his boots Andrea Locci (photo with the Orvietana shirt). Born in 1986, he closed a more than honorable football career, which saw him as a protagonist between series D and category II, with a double victory in the championship and category II Super Cup.
Foligno, Spoleto, Clitunno, Bastardo, Ducato Spoleto, Bevagna… he played with all the teams in the Umbrian valley, winning 9 championships. An eclectic footballer, who at the beginning of his career played on the wing and then finished as a central defender.
From Mister Luciano Marini to Riccardo Gaucci, but the personal memory is for Mister Marcello Pasquino…
He attended the youth team with Foligno, playing in Serie D, then in Orvieto again in Serie D. With Pasquino he won the Promotion championship in Spoleto, then wore the shirts of Ducato Spoleto, Clitunno and Bastardo. Many seasons at Bevagna where he won the First Category. This year he closed on a high note at the court of Riccardo Gaucci in Assisi.
Andrea’s comment on his first Facebook
Here it is, the moment has come for me too, what can I say football has given me so much, emotions, joys, sorrows, but it is also beautiful for this reason, but above all it has always allowed me to meet fantastic people, new teammates every year, often coming from different regions, from different nations, but united with the heart and passion that binds this sport! I thank all those I have met even as adversaries, the managers, and above all a thought goes to the people who have left us in recent years, I mention one above all a master of life Mr. Pasquino! I hope I have left a good memory of myself first as a man, then as a player, always with a smile remember to play football which is the most beautiful sport in the world.
It was only his achilles tendon that stopped Andrea Locci, otherwise he would have continued to reach the goal of winning 10 championships: “My only regret – he reveals to the editorial team of valleumbrasport.it – having stopped before Alessandro Tomassoni”.
