PROTT appeared in this rather unfamiliar all- blue strip for the visit of  FC Shakhtar Donetsk Ukraine during the winter break in the Ukranian season last year (December 2009).
A decent crowd at May 15th Stadium saw a well drilled young  Shakhtar side run out 6-1 winners. Lee Berry got PROTTs goal from a penalty.
FC Tamba-Tamba's  Edinho, born in Brazil, became the first naturalised immigrant to play for PROTT.
 Well done to Dick Francis and  Shakhtar Chairman Rinat Akhmetov for negotiating this visit.

  1. Edinho? That's not a first. Surely London born Eddie Nero played for PROTT after the Revolution?

  2. Walker- Eddie Nero, as I'm sure you know, played for FC Tamba Tamba, on occasions against overseas teams.
    However, he does not appear on the official list of players who have represented PROTT (ie: representative matches against overseas teams, whether club or national since May 1979).
