Delete – ~~I imagine this is an example of the situation for which NFOOTY was written.~~ The article's subject played ~~for S.S. Lazio~~ on a youth team in Ripi until 1967 when he came to the United States, soon turning from player to referee to coach. He has some local notability, but there seems to be no independent significant coverage to meet GNG. The best I found (searching for John Zangrilli and Giovanni Zangrilli) was this local non-independent write-up and this brief mention. However, S.S. Lazio was and is a fully-professional team, and even to anti-NFOOTY-crusading Levivich, it certainly seems possible that there would be significant coverage of him as a football player, which might be offline and in Italian and thus simply inaccessible to me. However, I can't find any statistics from the 1960s in Italy that would confirm how many pro games he played and thus how far over the NFOOTY bar he crosses. So I'm a weak delete given that there isn't enough data (that I've seen) for NFOOTY or GNG, but I would probably !vote my first "keep per NFOOTY" if it could be shown that he was a regular player for S.S. Lazio in Italy. Fails GNG, fails NFOOTY, delete. Leviv ich 16:30, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He didn't play for Lazio, he refereed an exhibition between Lazio and the Cosmos. [1] SportingFlyer T·C 00:10, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Damn, I misread it. Thanks for pointing that out. This won't be my first "!keep per nfooty," after all. Leviv ich 00:53, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
