Former Norwich City youth team (1991) striker Armando Di Mello hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Daily Telegraph reported on 18th November 1997 that "Armando di Mello, the former Falkirk and Cowdenbeath forward now with Scottish non-league side Edinburgh City, has been banned from the game until May 31 2000 after appearing before the Scottish Football Association's referees' disciplinary committee. He was reported for remarks made to the referee after being sent off in an East of Scotland League match against Edinburgh Athletic on Sept 13". Armando had made 6 appearances for Cowdenbeath in the 1995/96 season. Armando had made 16 appearances for Norwich's youth team in 1989/90 and two the following season before joining Falkirk.
