Undoubtedly, the biggest signing of the 2008 IPL Season, took place one hour before the cutoff, when the papers were lodged with the IFA Office by Dandaloo with the signing of Alvin Ceccoli. This is a major coup not only for Dandaloo but for the IFA in general as Ceccoli played for Central Coast in a losing A-League Grand Final less than 30 days ago.

Ceccoli who is no stranger to the IPL after previously playing with Dapto a couple of seasons ago, has chosen to play in the Illawarra for family reasons, instead of taking up an offer to play with Adelaide United in the Asian Champion Leagues.

FourFourTwo Belief Factor: 10/10 - We checked this one out because it seemed so unlikely but it appears to be true. Gosh. Ceccoli's been delaying his move to the Reds because of complications with his new-born child so we can only imagine that's why he's made this decision. All the best to him...and Adelaide.
