The undisputed
leader of the Johnnys was the greatly underrated and over-critisized
Renato Mazzorolo. He was undeniably the Johnnys media superstar!!! The
tabloids would follow his exploits whether it was on the field or off!
He could produce in the night clubs and on the pitch. He was also the
team comedian. He drew the wrath from friends and foes alike.
Says one former
coach (who wishes to remain unmentioned):
"When the chips were down, he could smell out a victory,
he had a nose for the net"!!!
Another quote
from a former opponent who to this day prefers to remain anonymous:
"Mazzarolo had a lot of moves. Fortunately for us, his
best moves were used up on the dance floor at the disco Saturday night
& not on the pitch"!!!
Mazzoralo had
a couple productive years with "Bayern Munich" in the Bundesligas
after a difference of opinion forced him to bolt from the Johnnys. He
later played "on loan" with Manchester City. Today, Mazzarolo
toils in Brazil playing in the 7th division Senior Men's Tequila League.
