Paul David Izzo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpul ˈitsˈɔ]; born 6 January 1995) is an Australian professional football (soccer) player, who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Adelaide United in the A-League.

Izzo played youth football at the Australian Institute of Sport before making his professional debut for Adelaide United. In 2015, he joined Central Coast Mariners before returning to Adelaide United in 2017.

He has appeared numerous times for the Australian under-20 side.

In 2018/19 season Paul’s performance in the finals series was lauded as outstanding, including a valiant effort against Perth Glory which saw him save three separate penalties during a sudden death shootout and rose his name further into Socceroos contention.

Paul is an avid Collingwood Football Club supporter.

gollark: Channels are actually quite hard to use nicely, and what is often better is "parallel iterators" or something; but Go *literally will not let you write that* with correct types.

gollark: Go makes it "easy" to be concurrent, except not really because goroutines and everything it has make introducing concurrency bugs really easy.

gollark: Despite Go's ill-deserved reputation for performance.

gollark: I haven't heard of it.
