A sort of career award for a player who, wearing the jersey of Spal he wrote indelible pages, from promotion to Serie A to double salvation in the top league.

The Wolf of Roccavivara then chose our city and the white and blue shirt to end his career as a footballer, proudly wearing the captain's armband. captain over the course of two seasons that have disappointed his and the club's expectations. However, Ante7 still has a mission to accomplish, because he certainly doesn't want to hang up his boots with a relegation to Serie D.

Thanking the white and blue people for the tribute last Sunday, Antenucci indicated without hesitation the goal to be reached at all costs, all rowing in the same direction.

Because being a fan means loving your shirt unconditionally regardless of everything, as you have always shown! What you have done for me is beyond logic, I would never have expected it and I will always carry it with me as one of the most beautiful moments to cherish.

It was a season far below our and your expectations, but now more than ever we must remain united and reach the minimum objective but which at this moment has become vital for everyone!

A curiosity: in addition to being by far the best scorer of Spal with 11 goals, Antenucci took the field in 36 out of 37 official matches (including the Coppa Italia) played during the season by the white and blues, missing only the return match against Pianese due to suspension. Considering the playouts he could therefore finish at 40, just like his age. Not bad.
