Mark Tullio Strukelj (born 23 June 1962) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Early life[]

Strukelj's parents emigrated from Trieste to Australia before settling in England, where he was born to an Italian father and an English mother.[1]

Career[]

Strukelj played one season in the Serie A for A.S. Roma (1983–84), winning the Coppa Italia. He also came on as a substitute with 5 minutes to go in extra time in the 1984 European Cup Final against Liverpool, a club of which he is a fan; Roma lost in the subsequent penalty shoot-out.

His career was hampered by the chronic injury of his ankle that forced him to retire at the age of 30.
