AC Milan have St. George's cross because they were founded by Englishman. Barcelona have St. George's cross because St. George is the patron saint of Catalunya IIRC. Coventry I don't know.

Oh, and hi everyone >=)

Both AC Milan and Barcelona are founded by Englishmen, as with pretty much every foreign crest with a St. Georges cross.

Coventry: Must have something to do with Elephant and Castle, and the two animals on either side maybe part of the Coventry insignia.

Wrong. Barcelona were founded by a Swiss businessman named Hans Kamper, and I already said why they have St. George on there.
