On this day in 1949, Italian football was in mourning following the Superga Tragedy.
The plane carrying AC Torino back from Lisbon following a friendly with Benfica crashed into the Basilica of Superga near Turin, killing all 31 people on board.
Among the dead were 18 Torino players - including most of the Italian national team - as well as their English manager, Leslie Lievesley.
The disaster left Torino with just one senior player - Sauro Tomà, who missed the trip due to injury - and so for the final four league matches of the season Torino fielded their youth team.
As a mark of respect, their opponents in those four matches also fielded their youth sides.
Torino won them all to confirm their fifth consecutive Italian title.

Gianni Infantino treating genocide like it can be solved with a handshake and a camera.
There’s something deeply unsettling about seeing such horror reduced to nothing more than optics.

Live at the FIFA Congress, Infantino is insisting that Israel Football Association and Palestine Football Association have a photo. The rep from IFA (VP Basin Sheikh Suliman) is an Arab who in his speech said "there is no politics in football". President Rajoub does not do it.
