Fabrizio Ferron (born 5 September 1965 in Bollate) is a former Italian footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He played over 300 games in Serie A.
Ferron started his career with the A.C. Milan youth team. He then played for Sambenedettese, before spending 8 seasons at Atalanta.
On 23 February 1992, Ferron suffered the infamy of conceding a late equaliser to Michelangelo Rampulla, the opposing goalkeeper for Cremonese, who became the first goalkeeper to score from open play in Serie A history.
In a 0–3 loss away to Reggiana on 23 January 1994, Ferron's heart stopped beating for some 15 seconds after a collision with an opposing striker. Luckily, he was revived shortly afterwards.[1]
He then played for Sampdoria, and subsequently for Internazionale, as a backup to Angelo Peruzzi.
He joined Verona in summer 2000. In summer 2002, he joined Serie A newcomer Como, where he competed with Alex Brunner for a starting spot. He played his last Serie A match against Modena F.C. on 27 April 2003, at the age of . Due to Brunner's departure and the club's relegation, he became the regular starter for Como, ahead of Stefano Layeni. In the summer of 2004, he joined Bologna as a backup to Gianluca Pagliuca, who was one year younger than Ferron.
An experienced and well-rounded goalkeeper,[2] Ferron was known for his composed and efficient style of goalkeeping.[3] He possessed good intuition and a strong positional sense,[4] and was also known for his athleticism, agility, shot-stopping, punching ability, and reflexes, which enabled him to produce spectacular dives and acrobatic saves when necessary, without having to resort to histrionics;[5] moreover, he stood out for his consistency throughout his career, and was considered one of the most reliable goalkeepers in Serie A during the 1990s.[5]
