Notts Olympic and AC Milan

The incredible history connecting our once dormant non-league club from Nottingham, England and the Italian giants and European super club AC Milan. ​​Our player, their Founder. 

​

Herbert Kilpin, born in Nottingham, just outside the city centre, would grace the colours of Notts Olympic at Forest Recreation ground a stones throw from his house. He moved to Italy to continue his work within the thriving Lace industry, whilst in Italy he got group together and started a football team, becoming the founder AC Milan.

The Club Returns

​

Re-established after decades of absence from the football community. ​​We have a goal of restoring the team to its highest place in history and playing in the old English Association Cup, nowadays more common referred to as the FA Cup.

​

Taking our place in the Notts Senior League for the 2023/24 season, we'll be finding a home ground, sorting a kit and putting a team back on the football field.
