Stephan El Shaarawy (born 27 October 1992 in Savona, Italy) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club Milan. He is a current member of the Italy U21 national team.

Club career[link]

Born in Savona to an Egyptian father and an Italian mother, El Shaarawy joined regional Serie A club Genoa at the age of thirteen. On 21 December 2008, when he was 16 years and 55 days old, he made his first team debut, playing ten minutes in a Serie A away match against Chievo, becoming the fourth youngest player in the history of Serie A.^[2] It was his only appearance of the season despite making the bench many times.

In June 2010 he was loaned out to Padova for the 2010–11 Serie B season.^[3] In his loan period at Padova, he quickly emerged as a key element for the team, leading the Venetian club to the promotion playoff finals where they then lost to Novara.

Milan[link]

On 25 June 2011, El Shaarawy signed for Serie A giants Milan.^[4]

On the 18th September 2011, Stephan made his debut with Milan at the Stadio San Paolo in a 3-1 loss to Napoli in Serie A. Three days later, after coming on as a substitute for the injured Alexandre Pato, he scored his first goal for the club, earning his team a 1-1 draw at home against Udinese. In his first six months at Milan, he made a total of seven appearances (only 175 minutes of playing time) leading to reports in the media that he may be loaned out for more playing time to help his progression. However a decision was made between Galliani (the director of Milan), Allegri (the current coach) and himself to stay at the club for the near future. It was then that his performances for Milan began to improve and have led him to becoming one of the most highly rated youngsters in Italy.

El Shaarawy provided an assist for Robinho in a 3–0 win against Cesena in the Serie A on the 23rd of January, 2012 which was his first assist in Rossoneri colours. On 8 February 2012, El Shaarawy scored in a 1-2 loss against Juventus in the first leg of the 2011-12 Italian Cup semi-finals. Three days later, he scored an immensely vital winner against Udinese. It was Udinese's first home loss of the season and turned Milan's poor form around.

International career[link]

Playing with the Italy U-17 team, he took part at both the 2009 UEFA U-17 Euro and the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup.^[5]

He made his debut with the Italy U-21 team on 15 November 2011, in a qualifying match against Hungary.

Thomas 'Tom' Deacon (1868 - 21 July 1921)^[1] was a Welsh international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Swansea and international rugby for Wales

Rugby career[link]

Swansea born Deacon began his career with Morriston before switching to Swansea in 1890. The next season he was selected to represent the Wales national team against Ireland in the 1891 Home Nations Championship. Deacon was one of four new Welsh players brought into the pack for the match, including Swansea team-mates David and John Samuel, following losses in the first two matches of the tournament against England and Scotland. Played at Stradey Park and led by Llanelli's Willie Thomas, Wales beat the Irish 6-4, but this match was Deacon's only international win of his career.

Deacon was reslected to play in all three matches of the 1892 Championship, now under the captaincy of Newport legend Arthur 'Monkey' Gould. Although the pack now contained the likes of Wallace Watts and Arthur Boucher the team failed to win a single match of the competition, though the selectors kept faith with the majority of the pack throughout. The next season the 1892 pack was reselected almost en masse, Deacon being the only obvious omission, his Wales career was over.
