110) Proud to be a Milanista, cause during the Era of Capello's Invincibili :cool: I was once slapped in the face by a "disillusioned ;) " cugino, "just" for a wink :D That slap, to which I did not react, gives you a picture of just how proud I was, and still am :devil: ;)

P.S. A few weeks later, the cugino, privetely excused himself :cool: saying: "Sorry, at times I feel so frustrated" ;) Naturally, I accepted his apology :stuckup:

42) Watching Marcello Desailly with his imposing built figure patrolling the midfield. Unpassable wall!!!:stuckup:
)
I remember the day of his debut, it was versus Udinese. One minute after his his first appearence with the Red&Black jersey, in jumping to head a ball, he banged his head with a Udinese player :doh: it looked scary :depress: 10 seconds after the incident Marcel "Iron Man" Desailly was alive&kicking again :strong: :strong: :strong: The poor Udinese player was out for nearly 5 minutes. After Frankie we knew right then that we had another Warrior :fero: in midfield :cool: Obviously he was not just that :cool: but I always remember that episode.

115) We built San Siro :cool: Inter came in only later, they preferred playing in the Arena in downtown Milano. Hopefully, as Moratti said not long ago, Inter will build their own stadium so San Siro will return to be the way it was intended from the very beginning :thmbup: :thmbup: :thmbup:

116: You get to wear red and black :neutral:
Yes indeed Thotbald, we almost forgot to add the beauty of the combination of our social colours:thmbup: :star: :cool:

Il Milan deve i suoi natali al misterioso Alfred Edwards, ingegnere e imprenditore che ha costruito la sua fortuna lavorando per la Pirelli. La prima star della squadra è stata Herbert Kilpin, un ventiseienne che giocava nella serie B inglese prima di trasferirsi a Genova e Torino negli anni '90 (del secolo scorso, beninteso). Ha scelto lui, alla Fiaschetteria Toscana, i colori rosso e nero: rosso per il diavolo, nero per far paura. :devil: :devil: :devil:

A.C. Milan ows it's birth to a Alfred Edwards, engineer and entreprenour that built his weath working for Pirelli. The first star of the team was 26 years old Herbert Kilpin that played in England's Second Division before playing in Genova and Torino in the 1890's. He was the person that chose, at La Fiaschetteria Toscana, the colours red and black. Red for the Devil, Black to bring fear :devil:

Yes indeed, a wonderful combination :star:

Thank you!:)
At home I have a beautiful pic of that another historically unforgettable moment, the moment when Attila rises to the sky and jumps over the head of Giuda Collovati to score the winner in that memorable derby, marking the return of the Il Diavolo at the limelight and the end of the negative moments...I'll try to scan it and post it in the next few days as it's truly worth it!!!:devil::stuckup: :star:

87) Standing on top of the table at the bar and shooting to the room full of Gobbi and Perdenti: SIAMO NOI, SIAMO NOI, SIAMO NOI, I CAMPIONI DEL'EUROPA SIAMO NOI!!!!!:devil:

Rather similar to my experience Payman :cool: but for the fact that I was seated in the Gobbi section of The Theater of Football :devil: and unlike my usual behavior, I was singing the exact same song :devil: :devil: :devil: The unfaithful around me were looking at me with hatred in their eyes ;) It made me feel only better :D :devil: :cool:

What a night :cool:
