Paolo Maldini shirt, Ac Milan the best team in history, founded 1899 by the English, this English pub is history.
A classic English pub with warm and welcoming atmosphere, the ideal place for afternoons and evenings with friends.
7000 English people live in Milan.
It's my favourite pub, quite close to me. I spent all my life in these places, it's something like 14 years that I go there, times when Oasis fever came out.
Even Oasis have been here, also last February before Milan gig. Here we also watched Italy World Champion beating france ehehehe Though it's a place dedicated to football, there are also many girls.

this is where Liam Gallagher came to buy shoes in Milan, November 16th, 1997 (there were no phones with camera yet :), so I put recent photos), shop called "Tutto per lo sport 2" (All for sports). He was with his bodyguard (Ian Robertson). This shop is so close to the house where I spent my childhood (the yellow house down there in photos) and exactly beside Saint George church (as Saint George cross on England flag = Milan flag). And very close also to the Football English pub where Oasis came sometimes. And this same street, called "via torino", in the same point, is where I photographed Oasis tram passing :). It's a shopping street and it's rare that a shop lasts so many years, they often change, but not this one :) and not my friend's shoes shop, that is here too. And now Liam is gonna produce shoes as well :). Too many coincidences :) ...maybe it's because I spent all my life here ^_^
quite close to Duomo cathedral, this is Piazza Vetra park, where we used to play football when we were children. In the centre of this pic you can see Saint Giorgio church (the other on the left is Saint Lorenzo). The Alps in the background, Milan is in the mountains :)
