Kurnia Sandy
Kurnia Sandy is a retired Indonesian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.[1] He played at Sampdoria's primavera (youth) team with Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto and Bima Sakti but not like his other former teammates, Kurnia succeeded to break into the first team and become the fourth choice goalkeeper for one season during the Sven-Göran Eriksson's era. At one time when Sampdoria's first choice goalkeeper Fabrizio Ferron is red carded, Sampdoria attempted to promote Sandy into the first team as a back up for Matteo Sereni, but apparently his management have yet to process Sandy's permit related papers. Thus Sampdoria entry was denied by the FIGC.

Sandy made a memorable performance during Asian Cup where he denied at least 6 clear chance during the game against Kuwait, before rough contact against Kuwaiti player injures him and the game eventually ended 2-2. Sandy's injury was serious enough and forced him to recover for the rest of the tournament. Sandy's replacement Hendro Kartiko fine performance, and apparent dip in performance in the local league after his injury, made him lose the spot for the first choice goalkeeper in the national team to Kartiko.
