INFO:
Felice Romano (or Félix in French) was a striker born in Argentina from Italian parents. Throughout his career he played in Argentina, France, Switzerland and Italy. He had his best period between 1921 and 1926 when he played for Reggiana, scoring 44 goals in 86 matches. He capped and scored once for France in 1913 and then he capped 5 times for Italy between 1921 and 1924 − he's the only one who capped for Italy while playing for Reggiana. He retired in 1930 after knee problems he had been having since 1925 − he kept playing despite it.
He was considered a great player, in fact when he joined Reggiana he gained a huge salary for a small club like the Granata. He was a striker who could play as centre forward or in the second line, acting as inside-forward, guiding the attacking actions, and occasionally even as half-back. In fact, thanks to both his great scoring ability and his millimetric long passes, he could play equally well cover every central position in either attack or midfield. A skillful player, he was the best Reggiana ever had to that period. Romano was an important player for Reggiana and surely the most spectacular. However he too often played alone, insisting on doing useless dribblings and finesses that didn't help him nor the team. When he decided to play for the team though he supported his teammates, delivering long balls everywhere. He was probably not bad using the head, in fact his first goal in Italy − when playing for Torino − was a very good heading. Reggiana's first season with Romano was underwhelming but the player is remembered for having scored the decisive goal in the replay of the Serie B relegation play-off match against Mantovana: after almost two hours and a half the match was 1-1; everyone was incredibly tired and waiting the referee's final whistle but Romano decided to start running from the midfield with some opponents who tried unsuccesfully to stop him; he reached the penalty area and faced the terrorized goalkeeper before kicking the ball with one of his shots of rare power.

pre 1960 players who played as midfielders behind the strikers = AMF & SS.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if put SS or CF. Thanks for the suggestion!
