Grande Torino- a Team Strong as Bulls

The Story

Superga

The Superga, for the people in Turin a holy place on top of the hill. Here the former kings of Italy are burried. When standing in the city center you see the chapel on top of the hill. You cannot miss it. Neverthless, in 1949 a plane full of the best football players of Italy crashed into the back wall while trying to land. No one survived.

All but One

In the plane crash at Superga of May 4 -1949 all Torino football players died, except Hungarian player Kubala who had decided to stay home. Torino could not form a decent team anymore, and it lasted till 1976 before Torino won the Championship again. A million tifosi turned up at the funeral. The monument behind Superga is still impressive.

The Bull and the Sphinx

A team strong as bulls; nobody could conquer them. Nevertheless, at the moment you least expect, you are most vulnerable. The bull turns into a sphinx that rises from the flames; eternally!
