Welcome to the first edition of Ito’s Goalkeeper Report! You know that guy that yells weird facts about the opposing team’s goalie? He won’t be there this weekend so I thought I’d pass on my research so we can *ahem* ‘welcome’ Jeff Attinella to South Florida.
Jeff Attinella
GK, #1
Born in Clearwater, FL
Attended Countryside High School then went to University of South Florida.
Jeff was drafted by MLS side, Real Salt Lake, but was released without signing. He got his first start for the Rowdies last year because Daryl Sattler got injured.
His wife’s name is Kendall. There were married December 10th, 2011. They went on a cruise for their honeymoon. Apparently they had a wasp problem at home that Kendall had to take care of. Jeff and Kendall went on a date to The Lodge on Friday, May 11th.
Jeff’s grandmother’s name is Fran Attinella. I hear he calls her ‘gam gam’.
Jeff is Ray’s fan.
And my personal favorite: they had a chocolate fountain at their wedding.
Do what you will with this information. Now you know and knowing is half the battle.
