 | Daniel Fonseca is a natural born goalscorer. He started his professional career with Nacional in Uruguay before moving to Italy to sign for Cagliari at the tender age of 21. His time in Serie A then saw him play for Napoli and Roma before arriving at Juventus in July 1997. |
 | Fonseca has been plagued by a knee injury for the entire duration of the season. Even before a ball had been kicked he found himself having to listen to the advice of specialists. After playing just two matches on his brief return, his season was declared over on 4 March when he went under the surgeon�s knife yet again. Now he hopes to be fit for the start of next season. |
 | Fonseca is regarded as a bit of a snappy dresser. His appearance is always immaculate; he prefers the classic look, but can do sporty too. |
 | He is married to Lisa, whom he met while playing for Napoli. They have a son called Nicholas. Daniel�s father is called Manuel and works as a builder. His mother is Maria.
|
 | His hobbies include listening to all types of music, especially salsa. He also likes tennis, and plays a bit too. |
 | He is a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. At times shy, Fonseca is also renowned as a practical joker. He finds plenty of victims - especially among his team-mates. He loves company and is often seen out with friends. |
 | Daniel dislikes the high life. He prefers either to have friends over or spend an evening in a local bar. |
 | His heroes hail from the world of sport. They have included Enzo Francescoli (also Uruguayan and an ex-Torino player), Diego Maradona and Michael Jordan. |
 | In his early days he owed a great deal to his grandfather Rogelio, the first man to spot his talent. The job of nurturing that talent then fell to his first coach at Nacional, Carol. |
 | His best ever goal came in a match against Sampdoria in 1990, while playing for Cagliari. A spectacular bicycle kick from outside the penalty area, it was the second of two goals he scored that day as Cagliari fought back from behind. |
