GIOVANNI ARMILLOTTA, PhD ON LINE PĖR SHQIPTARĖT
All researches of mine regarding Albanian Soccer
they belong to ALBANIAN PEOPLE
My special acknowledgments for their help to,
first of all, BESNIK DIZDARI (Albania), GIUSEPPE MONTAGNA (Italy)
then Luķs Batista (Por), Arlind Ciri (Alb), Fatjon Dautaj (Alb),Markus Schaal (Ger) and Shkėlzen
Xheladini (Alb-Swi)
I want to thank the tens of thousands of Albanians who turned and are
turning over the web pages of mine: that’s the best honour to my life wholly devoted to dear Albania
On August 16th, 2002, I decided to concentrate my web soccer iconographic
apparatus only until 1992, because since 1992, after the fall of Communism in Albania, the photos regarding Albanian football
put into circulation they immensely multiplied, and I can’t manage any longer to pursue the History: for that reason
I’ll look for uploading the past of my archives and not the “future”
