[edit] Club history

Originally known as Proletarian Forge before changing their name to Torpedo in 1936. The club used to belong to the ZIL automobile plant until a fallout in the mid-1990s that resulted in Torpedo leaving their historic ground and moving across town to Luzhniki, as they became property of the Luzhniki

corporation. In 1957 Torpedo Moscow, as well as other Soviet sport clubs named "Torpedo", became a part of the republican VSS Trud of the Russian SFSR. Torpedo finished Russian Premier League as 15th and relegated once in its history to second level in 2006. It plays in Russian First League.

Nicknamed the Black-Whites, Torpedo hasn't been a force in Russian football since the days of Eduard Streltsov, the brilliant striker of the 1950s and 1960s, known as "the Russian Pele". Past glories for Torpedo include 3 USSR titles (1960, 1965, and autumn 1976), 6 USSR Cups (1949, 1952, 1960, 1968, 1972, 1986), 1 Russian Cup (1993), and 3 appearances in the quarterfinals of European/UEFA Cup competition, and one Ciutat de Lleida Trophy in 1991.

[edit] Interesting Facts

Eric Cantona was famously banned for 1 month by his club Marseille during a friendly game at the Luzhniki Stadium in 1989 for throwing his shirt at Torpedo's young English trialists Mark Gladwin, Stephen Timmins and Adam Wilcox who were on an exchange programme at Torpedo from Everton FC - a link that was shortlived.
