How long since you loved Milan?

Iin 1987-88 i had to make a decision : napoli+maradona or milan+gullit , i didn't liked the shorty back then so i went for gullit, who very fast had become my idol , i loved him even more then i loved van basten ;the game vs red star belgrad was one of the most intense i ever seen, the final against steaua bucharest : i was so afraid milan will lose that game -lol- entire romanian press [comunist press] was full of milan is scare of steaua, gullit won't play ...bla bla bla ; after holand era i was mature enough to realise that the team is the one to suport, not one star or the other , so i just laugh these days when i see a kid in a "galactic" or "extraterestrial" shirt with some star writen on the back; what i'm tryn' to say is that i'm married 4 life with red-black colours

tnx for warning , i am richer than Berlu

Born 1984.

Final 02/03 vs Juve. My roommate is Juve Jan. I dont like him so much that i say i will support Milan. Milan finally won and were so happy and been milan fan over since.

Due to Rivaldo , Nesta ,Maldini and Inzaghi as well as there were the player i know the most and famous for me that time.

Been a supporter since 1992. Start watching Italian League, Milan were playing on tv, so I got lucky and picked them.

Have been 2 times to San Siro & have seen them in Amsterdam 2001 & Madrid 2002 for 2 pre-season tours.

Fan since the arrival of the dutch trio of Van Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard back in 1987-1988.

Favorite players since then: Van Basten and Maldini (and many more of course, but these two stand out for me).

Since early 1990s when Dejan Savicevic transfered from Crvena Zvezda (Red Star) to AC Milan. Since I'm originally from Serbia, I'm big fan of Red Star.

Back in the late 80s, I went to a small arcades spot with a good friend, and we found this great football game that only allowed you to pick serie a teams for some reason. I picked the "red and black team" and he picked the "blue and black team". Lucky me. We were about 9 years old then. I was pleased to find out later on that my pick included the famous Dutch trio. I followed them briefly for most of my teenage years throughout the 90s, and have been a proper fan since 2001. I am not italian (shame, really), nor have any players from my country ever played for Milan, but I am truly happy and proud to watch and support this team. It's really funny how these things turn out. I wish I could remember the name of that video game.

On a related note, I've been playing the new Pro Evolution game on PS3, and although it kicks some serious ass, I must say that the programmers really didn't do Gattuso justice with the stats. Cafu, on the other hand...

I started to support Milan the first time I knew about soccer... and that was when I was 8 or 10.... hmm..

1996...I woul dsay

6 years old.... 1988

(DECEMBER 2006)

Mind you I only began following/watching football at all in fall
of 2003!

I was a newbie to Serie A a few years ago (2004), but vaguely
knew of Milan from the CL Final vs. Juventus; so I started
occassionally watching RAI on the International Channel
on Sunday afternoons in Italian tape-delayed matches.

I know it sounds insane, but initially I considered
AS Roma (1 of my best friends loves Roma)
or
Inter ....holds head in shame.

I knew I didn't want Juve (heard they were the Man Utd
of Italia and even more importantly the whole 1/2 empty
stadium for nearly every match bothered me).

Then January of 2006, we moved to Ohio and I befriended
a serious footie fan, who happened to love AC Milan. He is
Italian and we watched more and more Serie A. I started to
feel an emotional connection to the Rossoneri. Then the CL semis
vs. Man Utd were the clincher. I'm a supporter of Arsenal and of course
do not like Man Utd, so that 2nd leg at the San Siro was magic!
I was hooked.

I follow Milan since 1988 or something..i remember Virdis playing and being one of my idols (i liked his mustaches )..i was 6 y o. I also remember that i woke up in the middle of the night for the two Intercontinetal Cups (1989- 1990 )..

Borne in 1983--- Supported Zeljeznicar from Bosnia and 1992 I went to Italy and lived there for like 5 years and started supporting Milan in like 1993 because of Savicevic. I'm still a die hard fan that watches every Milan game no matter what.Since I live in US I'm not able to go to San Siro but I did go to see Milan when they visited US

I must confess that my first love is not with Milan but with Sheffield Wedneday (oh well, if you don't know which team it is, that's ok I understand), but I quickly become a Milan fan when once saw a Maldini tackle (can't remember which game... long long time ago).

I never quite understood that, how come you support Sheffield Wednesday?
