Lorenzo Amoruso

Lorenzo Amoruso (born June 28, 1971 in Palese, Italy) is an Italian football player who currently plays for Blackburn Rovers F.C. as a defender.

Rangers F.C. signed Amoruso on May 29, 1997 for a fee of five million pounds. With Rangers, he won the Scottish Premier League in three separate seasons. Prior to coming to Scotland, he played for Italian clubs Bari, Mantova, Pescara, and AC Fiorentina.

Signed to Blackburn as a replacement for Henning Berg, Amoruso's Blackburn debut came on August 16, 2003. On the pitch for the full ninety minutes, his place in the team was justified as he scored the opening goal after 17 minutes.

In October, a knee injury kept him out of the game for five months, which, coming at the end of a run of bad form, was somewhat of a boost.

As he returned and came into the team on a regular basis, he and they regained their form.
