First Napoli win : 21 December 1930, at Milan finished Napoli
- Milan 3 - 2, goals by Innocenti, Vojak and Tansini for Napoli,
2 goals by Santagostino for Milan.
Biggest transfer deal : Milan had a great player in
Jose Atafini, but when they eventually decided that he
did not fit in their plans, it was agreed that he was not
to be given to their biggest rivals. So Napoli was chosen
as his destination with the condition that if Napoli
re-sold him to one of Milan's competitors, Napoli would
have to give a penalty of 300 million Lire to Milan.
Inter immediately offered Napoli 650 million Lire for the
player, but Napoli president Fiore honored the contract
with Milan, the outcome was of Altafini staying at Napoli
for seven years before passing to Juventus. |
