Hello there!

I'm from the UK, and my team is Liverpool. However AC Milan has always been my 2nd team since I became a football fan, watching them on "Football Italia" in the mid 90s when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Since then I have always followed them, with the exception of our two finals obviously!

I am beginning to write a football blog with my ambition in mind to one day become a football writer. I would like to write a piece about AC Milan, but first I would like some opinions from some fans with true passion for the club.

I'm sure you realise from my approach that I come with all the good will and respect in the world for your club, which became even more important to me once I had seen the very moving video of the match against Real Madrid in 1989 and the incredible gesture from your fans:

It honestly brings a tear to my eye as I write this.

My first question is, what is it about Milan that brought this gesture about?
Up until that point, to my knowledge there had been no particular history between the two sides, and to my knowledge no other team from outside of England displayed similar commiserations.

Going on from that, what would you say is the most unique thing about AC Milan?

Who is seen as the greatest hero of Milan's history? (I will attempt to elaborate on this player when I write)

Also, what is the greatest era or year for a Milan team, and who would you have in your all time Milan XI?

What are your thoughts on being in the Uefa Cup this year?

Milan has still been able to attract players of fantastic quality this summer, despite no Champions League, why do you think this is?

Last year, if you look at the example of another club who would expect to be in the Champions League, FC Bayern, some might say they used the reduced pressure of the Uefa Cup to their advantage, bringing home the league title. How do you see Milan's season going based on this idea?

That is all the questions I have for now, I appreciate there has been alot but if each person just answered one or two things, there would be an amazing amount of material for me to use for my piece. I hope I can do your team justice.

Many thanks
