Corrado Grabbi also credited as Ciccio Grabbi and Francesco Grabbi (born on July 29, 1975 in Turin) is an Italian football player. He plays as a striker.
Grabbi began his career with Juventus, scoring once in two appearances in the 1994-1995 season. Unable to break into the team, he moved to Lucchese (76 games, 8 goals) and then Chievo (18 games, 2 goals) before switching to Modena. There he found some real form, scoring 58 times in 70 appearances. This performance saw him signed by Ternana. There he was again a regular scorer, with 61 goals in 84 games.
This saw him signed by Blackburn Rovers for a fee of £6.75 million in July 2001, but he failed to repeat this progress, scoring just once in fourteen games. A loan spell back in Italy with Messina failed to reignite his form, and after a further 8 games (yielding nine more goals), he was allowed to return to Italy permanently with Ancona in 2003. He is currently playing for Genoa of Serie C1/A since September 2005. He obtained with his new team a promotion to Serie B on playoffs. Before the return playoff final, Grabbi announced he was considering to retire from football, because of his physical conditions, but later he declared he was persuaded to go on by the Genoa supporters and fellow players, and club president Enrico Preziosi.
Available during the 2007 winter transfer window, Grabbi signed for Arezzo, still in Serie B, after having never made a single appearance in the first half of the season for Genoa.
