Joseph Victor Fascione (5 February 1945 – 5 February 2019) was a Scottish footballer who played as a winger.

Career

A right sided winger, Fascione started out with Scottish junior side

Charlie Cooke ensured that he featured only sporadically in the first team, making a total of just 34 appearances. He was, however, one of the eight players infamously sent home by Docherty for breaking a pre-match curfew in Blackpool
in April 1965.

Upon leaving Chelsea he signed for Durban City F.C. in South Africa in the summer of 1969.[4] He returned to the UK in late 1971, but due to problems in having his playing registration released from South Africa was unable to sign for a club until July 1972. He then joined Dundee United on a trial basis but was released shortly afterwards, having only appeared in pre-season friendly matches.[5]

He subsequently had spells with Romford in the Southern League,[4] and Barking. He also had a stint as manager of the latter club.[6]

He died on 5 February 2019, his 74th birthday.[7]
