From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Silvio Spann (born August 21, 1981) is a Trinidad and Tobagan footballer who is currently unaffiliated to any professional team. He was last with Yokohama FC in Japan.
Spann is a midfielder, known for his hard work and stamina. He is the son of Leroy Spann, former Trinidad and Tobago national team player. He has also played in Italy, for A.C. Perugia and S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio. His move to Japan occurred after he failed to get a work permit in England, where Derby County and Crystal Palace were both interested in him.
Spann had been named in the Trinidad and Tobago national team for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, but had to drop out after sustaining a hamstring injury in the run-up to the tournament.
