Gre-No-Li

The denomination was colloquially used after these players composed a formidable trio of attacking players while playing for the Sweden national team and Italian club A.C. Milan in the 1950s.

Shortly after that success, in January 1949, centre-forward Nordahl joined Milan, and was accompanied by Gren and Liedholm in the summer of the same year.

[2] Gunnar Nordahl was particularly successful in Italy, as he was the overall top-scorer in five out of seven Serie A seasons, between 1949 and 1956.

The trio's contribution was fundamental also in achieving two Latin Cups, in 1951 and 1956, the latter won without Gren, who had left the club in 1953.

Nordahl left Milan in 1956 to join Roma, while Liedholm stayed with the club as a leader in the midfield and being the captain from 1956 to 1961, when he retired from football.
