MILAN – 31 years ago today, the 20th January 1985, Paolo Maldini made his Milan debut in Serie A. The occasion was Udinese-Milan (1-1) and the Italian was handed his first appearance by Nils Liedholm, marking the start of a glittering career, winning everything possible with the Rossoneri and playing over 900 times for the club. Maldini’s appeal went beyond Milan too, starring for Italy and on the world stage, going down in history as a legend of the game.
