Re: Interesting Football Trivia thread
Another interesting one - Juve copied from Notts County
Juventus have played in black and white striped shirts and white shorts (in some seasons black shorts) since 1903. Originally, they got kits from English side Notts County. Prior to this, the team played in pink shirts with polka dots (pink being the cheapest material available) with a black tie, but continual washing faded the colour so much that in 1903 they sought to replace them. The club asked one of their team members, Englishman John Savage, if he had any contacts in England who could supply new shirts in a colour that would better withstand the elements. He had a friend who lived in Nottingham, who being a Notts County supporter, shipped out the black and white striped shirts to Turin. Juventus have worn the shirts ever since

Kind of the same with Sparta and Sunderland.

In 1937 the Spanish Civil War stopped La Liga, but football continued. Levante UD - Valencia's other team won the Cup of Free Spain. It is still their only major trophy.

Rai was amazing, a true legend. When I was young I used to live a few blocks to his house. He was a very nice man always smiling and polite. A real gentlemen.

Didn't Sophocles also play for Brasil? If memory serves, wasn't he also the brother of Rai and Socrates?

Re: Interesting Football Trivia thread
Another interesting bit on Il Mago, the magician, one of the greatest coaches in the history of football - Helenio Herrera, the inventor of "Catenaccio". Once in Inter he suspended a player for telling the press "we came to play in Rome" instead of "we came to win in Rome"!!!
Legend
He also had a habit of sometimes announcing the results before Sunday's games and often his prediction turned out to be correct!! A master tactician, he would apparently tell his team to play for a particular score, and mostly get that!! He should play our prediction competitions
