Career

In 1997/98, Louhenapessy signed for Udinese Calcio in the Italian Serie A, where he was supposed to rotate with Johan Walem in the midfield of their 3-4-3 formation.[1] However, he never made a competitive appearance for the club, and at the end of 2000/01, while on loan at U.S. Salernitana 1919, he was released by Udinese. He almost signed with Lumezzane V.G.Z. A.S.D. in the Italian third division but the transfer never happened.[2]

After playing for SC Bregenz in Austria, Louhenapessy returned to Italy to play amateur football because his girlfriend was from there.[3]

While playing in the Italian amateur leagues, Louhenapessy was subject to racist abuse from a player. In response, he "charged up and scored a hat-trick, preferring to react with facts rather than words".[4]

Of Moluccan descent,[5] he is regarded as one of the worst foreign players in the Serie A[6] despite once captaining the Dutch national under-21 team.[7]
