Club career
In 1899, Allison was one of the charter members of Italian club AC Milan, which was originally named Milan Foot-Ball and Cricket Club, and was selected as the first captain of the team.[1] Allison is also credited as the first goalscorer in the history of the club, scoring the opening goal in Milan's first match, against Mediolanum, in the semifinal of the prestigious Medaglia del Re trophy, on 11 March 1900.[2] He was also the season's top scorer with two goals, the second of which was scored in the final of the aforementioned trophy, won by his club against Juventus with a 2-0 score. In his second and last season with the club, he won the Italian Championship, the first in Milan's history, as well as a second Medaglia del Re.
