Timeline

1980

Franco Costanzo Geymonat (born 5 September 1980) is an Argentine former football goalkeeper who last played for Chilean club Universidad Católica of the Primera División.

He has earned the reputation of being an eccentric goalkeeper by often dribbling the ball past the opposition's strikers and by making somewhat unorthodox saves.

Early in his career, Costanzo was once considered an excellent prospect; however, due to a few lengthy injuries, he has only recently managed to fulfill his full potential.

2000

Costanzo started playing professionally with Buenos Aires giants Club Atlético River Plate in 2000 and made his first-team debut in 2001.

2002

He had become the first-choice goalkeeper by 2002 and was looked upon by many as one of the most talented goalkeepers in South America.

However, injury started to plague him and when he returned from the sidelines, Germán Lux had established himself as River Plate's Number 1.

2005

His search for first-team action then took him to Spain's La Liga as he transferred to Deportivo Alavés in 2005.

He was first choice at Alavés straight away, but when they were relegated into the Segunda División, he asked the manager, José María Salmerón, to be put on the transfer list.

2006

Swiss side FC Basel acquired his services in July 2006 for £1.4 million after the departure of veteran goalkeeper Pascal Zuberbühler.
