On
September 1 ,
1910 , a group of labourers in the neighborhood of
Bom Retiro decided to create their own club. Their idea was to found a football team in which anyone could display his abilities in the sport, since back then, in the beginning of the
20th Century , football in
Brazil was considered to be an elitist sport, played mainly by British descendants and people who worked for British companies.
Under the lights of an oil lamp, in the "Rua dos Imigrantes" (Immigrants Street), the labourers
Joaquim Ambrósio ,
Antônio Pereira ,
César Nunes ,
Rafael Perrone ,
Anselmo Correia ,
Alexandre Magnani ,
Salvador Lopomo ,
João Da Silva ,
Antônio Nunes founded the first popular club in São Paulo.
Among the founders, the first ideas for the name of the club were full of Brazilian national spirit:
Carlos Gomes Football Club and Futebol Clube
Santos Dumont . However, these prominent Brazilian names were put aside after the
English amateur team
Corinthians , that used to wear pink and brown shirts, won all six games in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro during an exhibitional tour of Brazil. The name was agreed upon, as an homage to the great British club of the beginning of the past century. The name was suggested by Joaquim Ambrósio, one of those five labourers who founded the club.
In the 90's, Corinthians started the famous journey "Fregues do Tricolor". Chicken without history, without stadium, costumer of the treecolor. Suck skunks.
