“I remember Solomon, he trained with us at Parma and I had him on the bench more than once during Serie A games,” said former Parma Coach Roberto Donadoni, now at Bologna.
“I remember he was very calm, even taciturn. If it really was him who did this, I can’t think what went through his mind.
"He was a midfielder in the Parma youth academy, then I don’t know what path he took after the bankruptcy."
