Haven't you asked me already? Lea Pericoli is Italy's most successful female player ever. She's about 75 years old but you can see her all dressed-up and blonde-haired at the trophy ceremony.

She still has this warm, seductive voice and sometimes she's a commentator for matches on TV.

In 2005, something funny happened (did I put it on YouTube already? I think someone else did anyway) She was pushing Amélie to speak Italian but after a few words Amélie wanted to get back to French. So Amélie starts speaking in French, and talks, talks, talks, while Lea stayed silent. At some point Amélie stops, looks at Lea and says "vous voulez traduire"?

ROFL

And Lea says something like "oh you're right, otherwise it's going to be too much".

While alzheimer Lea was translating from French to Italian, saying "and then Amélie congratulated Patty on a great..." Amélie stops her and says "pas encore. Je n'ai dit ca pas encore"

LMAO

It was amazing. Amé is so relaxed in Rome. I hope the new French sponsor won't make her nervous *scared* *eek* ;) LOL

No I haven't heard that story before...

She's about the right age for Amelie though! LOL :D

Has anybody else noticed that the light reflecting from the trophy or camera flashes makes Amelie's eyes look somewhat evil.. :scared: :D
