  • The Great Torino!!! They'llnever be forgotton by genuine football lovers around the world. My team is Manchester United, by some strange twist of fate, Man United rose fromthe ashes to become a global collosus. My heart goesout to Torino, the first web site I ever visited was the Torino web site when I had my first PC more than ten years ago. Their coach was Leslie Lieveseley whowas a former United player...a strange coincidence. Our clubs will forever be linked. Forza Torino!!

  • @simoneluc respect to you. we love football and we love our heroes. the first replica shirts I purchased were those of Valentino Mazzolla (No.10) & George Best (No.7). These were worn during the 1049 scuddetto campaign and 1968 European Cup Final respectively. Forza Toro and long live United.
