Denis Stracqualursi scored his first goal for Everton last night in the 2-1 FA Cup win over Fulham.
The centre forward from Villa Domingo in Argentina was seen by most fans as more of an Alf Tupper type character, but with his non stop running and his willingness to work he could yet become a fans hero.
Denis said: "I didn't know what to do in that second. But it was for my son, my family and my parents in Argentina. I'm happy I got the goal for them.
"During the week the coach spoke with me and said I had a chance to play. He told me there are a lot of quality forward players in the team so I have to take every opportunity that I get.
"I've waited my time but I'm very happy to get my first goal.
"I thought I did well and I'm very happy with the outcome."
