Valletta FC Players Honors

In the history of the Valletta F.C. there were many players who left their mark. There are players
who played a great number of matches for the National team, others have won the honour of
the Footballer of the Year of the M.F.A. and there are other players who in many times finished
as the best scorers of the maltese championships.

Obviously, as regards the honours in the National Team, one must mention Kris Laferla, Nicky
Saliba and Gilbert Agius. These three Valletta players played most for the National team. When
we then speak of the Footballer of the Year, there are eight players who have won this honour,

only player who have won the Footballer of the Year three times. The other players winning this
honour are: Joe Zammit, Alfred Debono, Edwin Schembri, Eddie Vella and Leonard Farrugia.
