Career

Born in Manchester, Lancashire, Sertori played for East Manchester before signing for Stockport County in February 1987.[1] He made four league appearances before signing for Football Conference side Lincoln City in 1987, who he made his for debut in a 4–2 defeat at Barnet on 22 August.[1][2] He finished the 1987–88 season with 28 league appearances and six goals as Lincoln won the Conference championship.[3]

He moved to York City in September 1999 for a fee of £25,000 with Sertori agreeing a two-year contract.[4][5] In March 2001, he had three clubs in a week. He departed York for Shrewsbury Town, making a single substitute appearance, before joining Cheltenham Town.[6]

He dropped into non-League football in the summer of 2001, joining Altrincham. In November 2001 he captained a Northern Premier League representative XI against an FA representative XI.[7] In July 2002 he signed for Accrington Stanley before moving on to Hyde United in January 2003.[8][9] He retired at the end of the season to concentrate on his new career as a sports masseur.

At the tail-end of his professional career, Sertori enrolled on a Professional Footballers' Association-funded course at Cardiff, where he graduated as a masseur as well as qualifying in reflexology and aromatherapy.[10] In 2003, he joined Bolton Wanderers as Sports Therapist and Masseur. He followed Sam Allardyce to Newcastle United whilst maintaining a private practice in Stockport.[11] He is currently masseur at Manchester City.

An Italian speaker, Sertori replaced the long-serving Chelsea masseur Billy McCulloch as a masseur for the England team under Fabio Capello,[12][13] being one of three masseurs in England's 17-man technical staff for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[14]
