January 24th 1870, today is the 144th anniversary of the birth of the founder of this great club! Forza Herbert and forza Milan per sempre!!!

There he is in all his glory!

A great man.

A great moustache.

A great thread.

A great day.

A great life.

A great set of comments.

For a great man, indeed. I'll admit, I'd love to read or watch more stuff about him and the very early days of the club. Maybe someone will really open up the archives some day. Or maybe even a book, a real in depth one.

That was always my intention. Years ago I did an extensive article on the early days of Italian automotive-industry, a Milan book is what I intend to do, but not right now.

Awesome. I'll be the first to read it, I assure you, my friend. Whenever you do. History may not be a career for me, unlike you, but boy do I love finding about history of everything. A Milan book would be beyond amazing. Heck, if you do get around it, send it over and I'll personally lay it out for print or online distribution!

There are two history books available in the online store

Is that in English? Can I read it?

Brilliant, dst! Going to have to check these two out soon. Thanks!

Sorry to disappoint you man, it's in Croatian. Even the summary is in Italian. But maybe one day I'll translate it and publish it in some English journal.

Ah maybe one day!

Sorry to disappoint you

But one day, surely.
