INFO:
Kilpin was a midfielder, defender and forward. One of Milan's founders, first ever coach from 1900 to 1906, second ever captain from 1901 to 1907, he made at least 30 appearances from 1900 to 1908, scoring not less than 13 goals. Either as a player or as a coach, he was a leader and role model for everyone in and outside the field. His favourite positions were full back and left inside. However, he won the 1901 Italian championship as left wing-half, the 1905-06 as right-back, the 1906-07 as right winger and right-inside. He also the three editions of the Medaglia del Re.
A mix of genius and recklessness, relentless with both teammates and opponents but forgiving towards himself, Kilpin was in 1901 a fierce tackler and combative midfielder, sealing the opposing attacks with perseverace and compensating with tenacity and commitment for his lack of technique. Then he triggered the offense from the back like a playmaker. He was a commanding leader who sometimes pushed forward from his usual half back position, inspiring and driving his teammates thanks to his versatility, fighting spirit and good assist-man ability. He loved whiskey but it's said that his great performance against Genoa in 1901, at the end of which Milan won the title, was indeed thanks to some whiskey he drank before the game. In fact, he showed excellent athletic power as well as ability to play the ball and he scored the decisive goal. Starting from 1902 he was slowly turned into a defender and as right back he won the 1905-06 title. He proved to be a tough defender despite not being very tall. He had powerful legs and shoulders, controlled the area with a strong personality and was very difficult to overcome from his opponents. In 1906-07, when he was 37 years old, he played as winger or inside on the right, showing improved technique, goalscoring abilities as he scored 4 goals in 6 matches and providing numerous assists thanks to his very good passing skills. It's likely that he took free kicks as he used to train at taking them.
