Vince Magro (born 24 July 1952) is a retired footballer, who represented the Malta national team.
Small and stocky built, Magro made his debut for hometown club Valletta in February 1970 against Sliema Wanderers and won 4 league titles and 3 domestic cups with the club.[1] He had quickly established a good understanding with teammate Carlo Seychell to bring back successes to Valletta, but after an injury-hit season he was loaned to second-tier Msida Saint-Joseph in 1981.[2]
Nicknamed il-Maxi, Magro made his debut for Malta in a September 1973 friendly match against Canada and earned a total of 24 caps (including 1 unofficial), scoring 2 goals. One of his goals was in a famous win over Greece in 1975,[3] Malta's first-ever competitive game win.[4] His final international was an October 1979 European Championship qualification match against Turkey.[5]
