Facundo Sava

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Facundo Sava (born 7 March 1974 in Ituzaingó) is an Argentine professional football player who currently plays as a striker. He is perhaps best known for his unique goal celebration where he donned a mask which was stored in one of his socks.

He started his career at Ferro Carril Oeste before earning a move to Boca Juniors in 1996. It wasn't long after his move to Boca, that he was sold on to Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata. In 2002, Sava was sold to Fulham for £2 million; from there, he enjoyed a loan spell to Celta Vigo. After a permanent move to Celta Vigo, he helped them secure promotion to the Spanish First Division. He then moved to another Spanish second division team; Lorca Deportiva, but returned to Argentina in the middle of 2006 to play for Racing Club de Avellaneda.
