Footballer of the week : Micheal Mifsud





Sry for being late! Today I'm going to talk about the famous maltese player Micheal Mifsud . We ( the maltese people ) are so proud of him.

He plays who plays for Football League Championship side Barnsley on loan from Coventry City, where he plays as a striker. He is a member of the Malta national team and has previously played for Sliema Wanderers, Kaiserslautern and Lillestrøm. He was voted Maltese Sports Person of the Year in 2001 and 2003.


Mifsud scored his first goal for Coventry City on 22 January 2007, after coming on as a substitute in an away game against Plymouth Argyle.[ He then scored his second goal for Coventry in 4-1 defeat of Barnsley. He also scored at Turf Moor on 6 May 2007 against Burnley. During another impressive display, he scored a goal against Sheffield Wednesday and won the goal of the season for Coventry.
In the third round of the 2007–08 League Cup, on 26 September 2007, Mifsud scored two goals to give Coventry an unexpected 2–0 victory over Premier League champions, Manchester United, his boyhood team, at Old Trafford. La Gazzetta dello Sport nicknamed him as Il Messi Di Malta after the match.
