FIRST TEAM
Squad 2005/06

LORETO SCICLUNA
Date of birth: August 6, 1964
Nationality: Maltese
Position: defender
Debut: February 22, 1981
Appearances for Club: 270
Goals for Club: 16


Loreto Scicluna's career with the Club goes back to the 1977/78 season when he was a member of the minor league team that won the championship for the Club. He saw first team action towards the end of the 1980/81 season. By 1982/83 he had established his place in the side, however, he had to interrupt his career to pursue academic studies abroad. Aside from the occasional appearance, Loreto was absent from the senior team until the 1993/94 season when he returned from abroad. He became team captain in the 1994/95 season and served in that role until the end of 2003/04.

Initially, a left-winger, Loreto has featured in every position in the outfield, recently alternating between defensive positions of libero or stopper and the holding role in midfield. Although more noted for his consistent play, Loreto did receive recognition for an exceptional season in 1994/95 when he was chosen as the G.F.A. Footballer of the Year. He has since twice been chosen as the Club's footballer of the year (1996/97 and 1998/99).

Loreto played in all eight cup competitions won by the Club since 1998/99, captaining the side in seven of them (tops for the Club). By lifting the 2003/04 Super Cup, Loreto joined Melchior Cremona of Victoria Hotspurs as the only two players to captain their side to four Super Cup triumphs. Loreto was a member of the 2004/05 championship winning side.

Loreto also played a role in Gozo F.C.'s climb from the lower divisions of the M.F.A. and had the honour of captaining the side to the second division title in 1997/98.
