Oh okay gotcha. My mistake. I thought I'd read somewhere that after an amazing yoyo Euro tie the City manager at the time asked the Milan manager if they'd mind City using their colours for away games in recognition of the quality of football both teams had played. I think Milan were a powerhouse at the time. Sorry mate. Im getting to that age where dreams and reality intermingle.Malcolm Allison just copied it. Only played them later on from memory.
Don't be sorry I am the same. I remember we drew in the San Siro but Paul Power scored so later on. Our traditional away is probably maroon but Allison loved the Milan kit.Oh okay gotcha. My mistake.
