Luca was a full-blooded, committed, terror in the midfield. An archetypal ball winner, who didn`t mind too much if he took the man as well as the ball. Born in Buenos Aires, and signed from some team in Malaysia, he had pedigree with Tenerife, and a flowing Argentinean hairstyle that Chris Hargreaves later copied. Although lacking in finesse, he eventually got into the swing of the English game, and at the end of Ramon Diaz`s tenure many Oxford fans regretted that the new management failed to offer him a new contract.
