Born into a family of humble origins, CEP popular in the district of Palermo, on 1 December 1964, shows just a great passion for football, so much so that in 1981, after the fact Osse among amateurs, is purchased by MESSINA, a 'experience will be crucial for him because, during the seven years the team of the Strait, between B and C, it will highlight and reach the top of Italian football and world. Launched dall'indimenticato "professor" and FRANCO SCOGLIO affermatosi under the guidance of technical Bohemian Zdeněk Zeman, won the top bomber in 1988-89 with 23 networks and JUVENTUS brought him to Turin, bought by Sicilian society. That jumped to the "Spirit" TOTO ', the reality of small Sicilian land to the fame and visibility with the white jersey. The first season in the shadow of the Mole is a great level. The Palermo conquest by the jersey holder and make the sign 15 networks in thirty matches, winning Italian Cup and Uefa Cup. Then two more years, but its ability realizzativa is waning and, in '92 is all sold' INTER where, however, bad luck and injuries seem desperately on the player (11 networks in 30 games) and in '94 tries adventure Japan, which will be a great success.
