Candela - versatile and talented full-back (Allsport)
VINCENT CANDELA
Position: Defender
Born: 24.10.73
Club: Roma
An adventurous attacking full-back who often plays on the left-hand side even though predominantly right-footed.
Was playing for the unfashionable provincial side Guingamp when snapped up by Italian giants Roma in 1997.
Since then he has become almost a fixture at the Stadio Olimpico, playing either as left-back or as a wing back.
Was an integral part of the Roma side that won their first Serie A championship for 17 years last summer.
He made his international debut back in 1996 but has found the Bayern Munich defender Bixente Lizarazu barring his way to more caps ever since.
