Inter was a cricket club founded by british expats before Milan was, it became an athletic club after that, but I dont believe it became a full football club until afterwards
Note:
I take this back, have just looked into it again...
Last time i researched it was years ago, so it seems my memory fails me.
Apologies.
Note 2:
But i'm happy to throw htis in your face.
As of 2006, Inter's 98-year run in the top flight is one of the longest of any club in the world
Note 3:
And this!
The rivalry is especially heated since Inter broke off from A.C. Milan. Inter was seen as the middle-class club (nicknamed "baüscia", a Milanese term meaning "braggart"), whereas A.C. Milan was the working-class team (nicknamed "casciavit", meaning in the Milanese dialect both "screwdriver", with reference to the working-class, and "awkward")
How many Milan fans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
10.... 8 have to spend a year working to earn the money, one has to call Moggi to ask permission, and the other one has to run the Italian mafia.
