Italy - Next stop Florence. Firenze to the locals. But Firenze United didn't quite seem right so the locals called their team Fiorentina. They play in purple.
The forward thinking locals were playing in what was to become The Terrors away kit some seven or eight years later. In town there is a Fiorentina club shop
selling shirts and the usual merchandise. The shop manager though is a real Terror's fan. Here he is proudly waiving his Tooting & Mitcham scarf in the shop.
It's not too late to read about The Terrors' influence on the beginning of organised football in Italy right here.
