Three things to drop into conversation

  • 01Won La Liga's Zamora Trophy in 2006–07 with Getafe — only 30 goals conceded all season.
  • 02Shares the Pato nickname with Argentina's other goalkeeping great, Ubaldo Fillol.
  • 03His surname was originally spelled 'Abbondancieri' until he had it changed in 2002 to fix an Italian-immigration paperwork error.
