48. MASSIMO CONTURSO                             since 2001, co-founder
Four stars
Born in Napoli, Italy, 39 years ago, he grew up in Ostia, Rome, and
discovered Subbuteo in the Summer of 1983 by watching two
older kids playing in the courtyard. The game was Celtic Glasgow
vs. AS Roma.
Since then, the Scottish team has always been in his heart,
although he's known to be a huge Juventus fan.
He was co-founder of the "Bjorne Subbuteo Club" of Ostia in
1990.
Following his true love (his wife Ellen), he moved to the USA in
1999.
They have a beautiful baby girl (Julia Rosa, born in 2000) and he
currently works as a US Postal Service Letter Carrier.
