From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FC Torpedo Moscow (Russian: Футбольный клуб "Торпедо" Москва) is a Russian football club, based in Moscow. Founded in 1924, it has had the following names:
- Proletarskaya kuznitsa (1924-1931)
- AMO (1931-1932)
- ZIS (1933-1935)
- Torpedo (1936-1995)
- Torpedo-Luzhniki (1996-1997)
- Torpedo (since 1998)
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.
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.
