Mario Vitali, history of the amateur bomber

Still scoring at 43 and for the 24th league in a row. The record is set by Mario Vitali, timeless center forward of Aurora Seriate, first in the standings with full points in group C of the Lombard Promotion. Class ’79, Ibra-like body but white hair reminiscent of Ravanelli, last Sunday Vitali, the first as a holder of this championship, scored a brace dragging his team to victory on the field of the Olimpic Trezzanese.

Goal 300

–

Two goals that allowed him to reach 271 goals in a career that has crossed all categories of amateur football: from the Second to the Serie D. The goal of 300 goals is far but without Covid, which kept him stationary for a year and half due to the stop of amateur football, today it would be within reach: “Well, who can say, anyway as long as the body holds up I go ahead. I still enjoy playing and the joy of scoring has no age ”. The first dates back to 1998 in Excellence with the Fiorente Colognola shirt (“impossible to remember, too many years have passed”), while the last in the Promotion, before the double at the Trezzanese, was four years ago with Bergamo Longuelo.

The bet

–

In 2019 Vitali restarted from the Second Category with the Aurora Seriate that in two seasons (those in which he played) he helped to bring in Promotion always going in double figures after having crossed the 40. “The club asked me to help the coach (four years younger than him ed) to raise the boys and I accepted with enthusiasm “. When you can, Mr. Comi gives him the number 9 shirt, Vitali still knows how to score.
