Club career
In 1899, Allison was one of the charter members of Italian club A.C. Milan, which was originally named Milan Foot-Ball and Cricket Club, and was selected as the first captain of the team, since he was older than Herbert Kilpin, the most prominent among the founders.[1] Allison is also credited as the first goalscorer in the history of the club, scoring the opening goal in Milan's first match, a friendly against Mediolanum, on 11 March 1900.[2]
