105 Anni di Historia. 105 Anni di Successi.

[San Siro]

105 years of History. 105 years of Successes and triumphs everywhere!

Let us revive some of these moments in images, that I have scanned from my Forza Milan! mags. A big :thmbup: for Smoje for having uploaded them!

I didn't scan the pics of the first part of the Century and now I realize I should have (note to self, to do that in the next few days! ). The first pics are from the 1950's first titles and triumphs.

The founder of Milan, Sir Herbert Kiplin

After a long lean period, the 1950's were a decade of plenty joys for the Milanisti due to Milan's numerous titles during that time.
The Herores of the 1950 Scudetto led by the Legendary Gre-No-Li Trio!

The 1958-59 Scudo Roughly the same squad as the one of the 57 title, but with the addition of a certain Altafini.

One of the figures of the 1950's for Milan. Lorenzo Buffon. One of the all time greatest keepers to have played for us, vital in all 4 Scudetti won during that decade!

Another key figure of the 50's, Juan Alberto Peppino Schiaffino.

The 1960's, a Golden Boy for the Golden Years

In the 60's, also referred to as Gli Anni d'Oro (The Golden Years), Milan continued in the tradition which was established in the 1950's, that is of a victorious and triumphant team. This time around, those successes would also go onto spread to the International scene. The 1961-62 Scudetto team with some new additions such as a certain Giovanni Trappattoni and one who would become the symbol of Milan for the following 30 years, Gianni Rivera.

The first big International win comes in the mythical Wembley Stadium against another myth of European and World football of the time, the Great Benfica of one of all time greats, Eusebio.
On this pic, the winning goal of José Altafini. First Italian team to win the European Cup! Cesarone Maldini is the captain of this first Mega Milan Team!

Some key figures of the Golden Years:

The first captain of that era, Cesarone Maldini.

http://smoje.spymac.net/milan/cesarone-2.jpg

A very young duo that would go onto play a major role not only in Milan's history, but Italian football overall with their massive contributions!

The Genuis behing all the triumphs of the 60 and some of those in the 70's were mainly due to him and his outstanding work, unique charisma and indelibile impact he's left on Milanisti, Il Paron Nereo Rocco! Voted Milan Coach of the Century by the Milanisti!
