Conca is the Italian version of the French surname Conche, a topographical name for someone who lived in or near a hollow. The old French word conche meant a basin and derived  from the Latin conca, a shell. Lovers of Literature would recall the English word "conch" which features prominently in William Golding's 1954 novel Lord of the Flies, the conch there being a shell used as a horn. Conca's given name Reece is appropriate for a footballer: it is a variation of the Welsh name Rhys, which derives from the Old Welsh name Ris meaning "fiery warrior".

by the way ian stewart and kouta were half italian, so lets hope conca does become th ebest italian player ever

If he is as good as the "best Italian player ever" - Ronald Dale Barrasi - then I will be stoked.

Finding out his background also helped.

wog boy  :angel:

Im aussie all the way. Parents born in Italy. Its good to respect your background but thats where the buck stops with me. Those Idiots who sported all things Italian in the city when they played the Aussies in that World cup actually made me sick.

Reece will be glad to know that if he ever gets injured, my Italian mother in law will get the rosary beads out and send a few hail marys over in his direction. This apparently can improve the healing abilities of the sick and injured.
