AC Milan Football
Alfred Edwards, a British expatriate, founded AC Milan in 1899 as the Milan Cricket and Football Club. In honour of its origins, the club has retained the English spelling of its city��s name, instead of changing it to the Italian Milano. The team��s current stadium is the 85,700 seater Giuseppe Meazza, which is also known as the San Siro. The stadium is shared with Internazionale (Inter), the other major football club in Milan. AC Milan supporters use "San Siro" to refer to the stadium because Meazza was a star player for Inter Milan.
AC Milan play their home games in shirts of red-and-black stripes, giving them the nickname rossoneri ("red-blacks"). A few of the famous players to wear the shirt are; Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten, Luther Blissett, Paolo Di Canio, Roberto Baggio, Paolo Maldini, Ray Wilkins, Jimmy Greaves and Jaap Stam.
