Gary Nano
While individual contributions were limited this season, the squad’s collective effort in multiple roles was notable. Willi Schneider, Giuseppe Conte, Antonio Castelli, Allan Carroll, and Michel Lemoine all contributed as team players, demonstrating versatility and commitment. However, the lack of goals and assists from these key players indicates an area for significant improvement in offensive potency.
