[Albion] Paul Fuschillo

[tinycowboy]

Hi everyone, just found out my new boss at work is the son of Paul Fuschillo who made 17 appearances between 1973 and 1975 alongside a number of Albion legends, scoring one goal. He was a bit before my time, although he is on my cherished Albion spreadsheet. Anyone remember him?

 

[rippleman]

Barely - but yes. No idea what happened when he left us so I checked him out and he seemed to pack it in after the games for us. Had a very short pro career. Perhaps you will be able to fill in the gaps.

Yes, didn't he suffer a horror career-ending injury? He was a Peter Taylor 'find' and was made skipper after just 10 games according to Tim Carder's Albion A-Z.

Yep. Saw him quite a few times.

Thanks everyone - I will see what further information I can get hold of and let you know. Especially interested in experiences with Brian Clough…

Lil Fuschillo was the guy who got his leg broken in a challenge with Paul Clark, wasn’t he?
His first game back after the injury was against us, too, I seem to remember.
I don’t recall who he played for or if he was related to Paul, though.

I remember that, you could clearly hear the snap of his leg in the stands. Grim

I think you are thinking of the Futcher brothers - Paul and Ron

Luton, I think

Yeah Lil Fuschello was at Luton
Midfielder and really top player - when we moved up to Bedford, as a teenager I used to go watch them as they were promoted to Div 1
Nobby Horton was their main man after he was swapped for Tony Grealish who came to us.

Lil and Paul are not related as their surnames are spelled differently. Lil is Fuccillo....
