1946/47 Italian Serie A league 18th round
San Siro stadium, Milan, Italy, January 26, 1947
Milan 1 - Grande Torino 2
(48' Gabetto, 81' Puricelli (Milan), 86' Menti)
The Invincibles of Grande Torino, how the legendary record setting Torino team of the 40's (who was also basically the Italy National Team of the era, providing up to 10 starters to the Azzurri) is called in Italy as the ultimate form of respect
but sadly after having won their 5th scudetto in a row and set all the most important records of italian soccer that still stands The Invincibles all died at their peak in the Superga air crash tragedy on may 4, 1949, leaving no survivors
but heroes never dies and legends lives forever
GRANDE TORINO PER SEMPRE
"heroes are always immortals in the eyes to whom believes in them.
therefore the kids will belive that Torino has not died: they are only playing an away match"
(Indro Montanelli, 1949)
"many teams are great, only Toro is legend"
(very popuòat italian soccer saying)
GRANDE TORINO PER SEMPRE
