Review - The Lord of Milan

Review – The Lord of Milan

In 1891 a young textile worker named Herbert Kilpin left Nottingham to work in Italy. He never returned to his homeland, settling in his adopted country and organising and promoting the new sport of football in his spare time. He founded AC Milan in 1899 and led the football club to its first three championship titles. Kilpin died in obscurity in 1916, never known in England and quickly…

Milan Fact: Is Milan’s Red Cross Logo From England?

Cross of Saint Ambrose

Could it be that the red cross with white background (Saint George’s cross) was brought on by early influence by Milan’s founder Herbert Kilpin? There is a myth that many Milan fans over the years have lead themselves to believe this to be the case. We could ask “why not?” through common-sense.

Milan History: Memories of Kilpin

Kilpin's memories will remain an inexhaustible source of news and interesting stories, with a kind of legacy that only Rocco will provide about fifty years later. Kilpin being Milan's number one patron, said that once he was called in to referee a game whereby one of the two linesmen opened an umbrella to shelter himself from the rain while indicating the offsides. For Kilpin that was too strange and contrary to the way the game was played. He asked his linesman to do what all participants do during a rainy football match, and therefore close the umbrella and let the rain soak himself just like everyone else.

Milan Fact: 16th of December 1899 - The Birth of AC Milan

It was precisely nine days before the Christmas of 1899, the Milan Cricket and Football Club was born. From a group of impassioned Italian and British football (Soccer to Americans) fans, came together to meet at the Hotel du Nord as they were summoned by Herbert Kilpin. Kilpin, a British Nottingham-born gentleman on a business trip in Italy, was on his way to introducing football to the rest of the country. Football had already been a much established sport in the UK.

In 1891 Kilpin arrived in Torino but thereafter transferred to Milano where he found the right setting and environment for his project: to found a football team. Not yet knowing if it would be a winning team, his thoughts and ideas on what the team uniform would look like was very clear: they would be red and black. The reason for this, explained Kilpin was simple, it would be a team of devils and the color red would represent fire and black would represent fear that would be instilled in their opponents.
