This picture is also so poignant for me. Its that generational thing where the older generation passing on their hopes and dreams to the next generation.

This is an image that has always fascinated me in the sense that it apprears a match was decided by a toss of a coin, surely as a player you would want to win on the field proving you are better rather than a coin toss from a friendly mason? can the experts tell me anything about this particular match?
There was a Glasgow Charities Cup game in the early 1960's against the cheating deid effwits which ended 1-1 - It was decided on the toss of a coin - Quelle Surprise they won it. :suspect:


Paddy and Neilly don't look too enamoured.

I find that stunning CB to be honest with you, to decide a match you put everything into by a toss of a coin, seems crazy, no skill factor required at all and as you say the mason probably using a two headed coin. Just plain crazy, do you know if this was in play down South?
If it was good enough for UEFA and the Champions Cup then I'd imagine so! Remember Benfica 1969?
some info from The Guardian
The most important coin-toss in the history of football came in the semi-finals of the tedious 1968 European Championships, Paul. Having drawn 0-0 with the Soviet Union, Italy (led by Internazionale defensive legend and crowd-pleaser extraordinaire Giacinto Facchetti) progressed to the final after winning a thrilling coin-toss.

Meanwhile Yugoslavia were dispatching England 1-0, thus ensuring they could be robbed in the final by the Italians. Trailing 1-0 with ten minutes left, Angelo Domenghini was allowed to take a free-kick with the Yugoslavs in the process of retreating the full 10 yards. Goal, and a 1-1 draw. Italy won the replay 2-0; not exciting.

The next biggest match decided by the flicking of a coin took place in the 1964-5 European Cup quarter-finals, after Liverpool and Cologne played out two dour 0-0 draws and then a 2-2 after a play-off in Amsterdam. Ron Yeats guessed right in the centre circle, as befitting a man who won more 50-50s than most. You'll Never Walk Cologne? Liverpool were then controversially dispatched 4-3 on aggregate in the semi-finals by Inter, led by that man Facchetti again.

But no hard-luck story is complete without Spain: they missed out on a place in the 1954 World Cup finals after beating Turkey in a two-legged qualifier 4-2 on aggregate. Sadly, aggregate scores counted for nothing in those days, and having won and lost a leg apiece, the teams played off. After the inevitable draw (2-2), it was down to a blind Italian boy to draw lots; even he could see what was going to happen next.

I would be demented if I lost out on such important matches by way of a coin toss :boxer:
