Italy’s most successful club Juventus celebrate their 110th Birthday today
Juventus were founded on 1 November, 1897 by a group of Turin grammar school teenagers, who chose a name Sport Club Juventus.
Not even in the wildest dreams of these kids existed the fantasy that their creation would turn into the most successful Italian club and one of the most prestigious in the world.
The first Italian league took place in 1898, played between four teams in one day, but Juventus stayed out, only to take part in the following year, with the first official shirt being pink.
In 1903 the club started to don their famous black-and-white kits, after an English player at the club brought over some Notts County shirts from England.
The first Scudetto arrived in 1905, the only major honour until the the Agnelli era began in 1923.
The rest, as they say, is history and Juventus have since gone on to win a record 29 Scudetti, nine Coppa Italia’s, two Champions League’s, three Uefa Cup’s, one Cup Winners’ Cup, two Intercontinetal Cup’s and two European Supercup’s.
They have also possessed some of the greatest footballers every to play the beautiful game, including Michel Platini, Dino Zoff, John Charles, Gaetano Scirea, Omar Sivori and Zinedine Zidane.
Happy 110th Birthday Juventus!
