Such a player's value increases reapidly once he gets back to scoring habits, alas he got injured way too many times this season.

For me, as I was growing up, we liked the NASL league in America, but in my Italian community we really followed the Serie A. Most of the immigrants were Juve fans, as they were from southern Italy, where Juve is wildly popular. So, Juve was the club of choice and the club all the old timers talked about. I also heard that my great-grandfather had been the chef to the provincial governor of Piemonte at one time, so that gave me a connection to the city of Turin, and is probably why I am a bit of a Toro fan (crazy talk from a Gobbo like me!).

It was a family thing for me. I inherited my passion for Milan through my Father who followed Serie A back in the day when he needed a short wave radio to catch the broadcasts. I remember as a Freshman in High School..kids wearing Phil Simms jerseys, L. Taylor jerseys and I was flashing my MILAN BARESI JERSEY getting the most odd looks from kids. Thankfully I never gave a sh*t what others thought so I wore it proudly esp. in the Berlusconi era when they were battling it out with Napoli.
That said, my brother and I were quite odd in New Rochelle when we would parade on our bikes with Milan flags after CL titles such as in 89.
P.S. Hope all works out well Kev.

Siena has worn the black & white stripes longer than Juve, and I have personally seen this motif all over the city of Siena. I was being critical of Lotto for not providing a new design for its client. They just recycled an old Juve kit last year, which is like telling Siena that they are inferior and not woth the effort to make a new design. What a load of crap.

Pado were you one of those American kids who studied Italian in Siena for a semester only to fall for a tall, dark and handsome Italian who bought you ice cream in the Piazza

Where do I begin ?????
First off, neither one of my parents was a real soccer fan (remember, it was my grandparents who were born in Italy), but only became soccer fans when the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) formed a team here- the Buffalo Stallions back in 1980
I liked indoor soccer, and we played it in gym class at school. I found out then that I had a little bit of talent...
Then came WC 1982, and I'll never forget my Dad sitting me down to watch all of Italy's games, and seeing them win the World Cup.
I came from an Italian neighborhood - North Buffalo, and every bakery there had posters of the WC champs, and thats where my love affair with Italian soccer started
I became a Juve fan around 1990, where some friends of mine had the antenna on their roof in order to get the games from Toronto. They were Juve fans, and as time went on, all my favorite players were playing for Juve, so it was to be.....
I remember after WC 1994, trying to keep up with what went on in Serie A by seeing a weekly Serie A show (which only lasted 5 months here, before they cancelled it) and reading America Oggi (Italian newspaper). The antenna's didnt work anymore, so I was shit out of luck........
Until, 2001. THANK YOU DISH NETWORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
